all his feedbacks show private auctions, i wonder why.

What do you think. Did this seller change his user name in order to decive and take advantage of the American Pickers/Pawn Stars brands?

How can buyers for these items still be out there? How how how??:confused: In regards to the person who just paid $425 for this modern piece of paper...what do you think their baseball memorabilia collection looks like?

Yeah maybe they think by having "Picker" in their ebay ID it sounds like the material they sell is fresh to the market.

Sometimes, you just look at something and know its not right. Common sense is such a part of the hobby, seems. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, its probably a duck and a VERY sick one at that. :rolleyes:

Well well well....what happened? This "picker" (or ebay) ended all his current auctions selling similar items;)

OK, two posts, pretty much the same, showing a crappy attitude towards people pointing out scams. Let me guess: you're an ebay scammer who's ticked because board members ruined your business??

For many of you, it may be apparent if something is crap, but the majority of the collectors out there don't know...especially when seeing something on the internet like eBay. I'm not a collector of signs, so when I see this (at least just from the picture), how can I tell it's a fake? I'm not a collector of memorabilia, other than cards and autographs, so things like this could easily go under my radar (as well as thousands of other unsuspecting collectors).

Which is exactly what Picker/CardKing wants!!
