Right, and that's the first thing that makes me scratch my head here, Luke.

Wouldn't somebody who is trying to rip off a buyer, or run a scam in the way that Ben described, use another picture? I mean, I look through a lot of auctions on any given day. But if I am looking specifically for a 1973 Nolan Ryan, be it au natural or graded, if I see this picture a second time, I am going to remember seeing the first. Then, I'm going to open another browser window, and look for the first auction.

This almost makes me think there has to be a simple explanation that I'm not thinking of. The scammer couldn't be that stupid, could they? Or am I giving the average eBay user too much credit?

Sigh. I wish we could just round these idiots off, and ship them off to Mars.
