Default To bid or not to bid?
I would like to bid on this card but I have a funny feeling that he does not have it. Your thoughts?

I would ask him to write something on a post it note (or a piece of paper) and scan the card with the note next to it.

Yikes...Not as angry as some. What makes you think he does not have it? I am curious and probably a little naive.

Jim,
You know how it is. On a slow news day there is no telling what might end up on the front page.

I love the skepticism here.

It looks like the seller used the same scanner with the same cropping to list both cards they have for sale.

There is a post-war board. But I'm sure you knew that.

Wouldn't a scammer find a better quality card to use as the bait?

I'm guessing a good scammer would want to fly under the radar and not go for the obvious. If it's actually a scam, they are making 100% profit so why get too greedy and draw more attention to yourself?
