His eBay name is 800hitter.

He's selling a Drum tobacco pouch on eBay:

Couldn't you get that information directly from ebay? I have had to do it with bad purchases.

I emailed them they said they don't own those packs. They said the owner of those tobacco packs sold his Drum pouch a few wks ago but lost in the mail. May be the seller "800hitter" is the one who took/stole the pouch.

Here's another that 800hitter is selling on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300265050249&category= 44827&_trksid=p3907.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DSI%26its %3DI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D15%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D54

"My pack listed here is an absolute steal compared to those prices!!!" Did he steal this one also? "CHECK OUT MY INSANE BUY-IT-NOW SALE PRICES THIS WK ONLY"

No tax stamp. No mention of a factory number, etc. I have seen others that he has sold in the past, and they were just like this one. Very little info to authenticate with. Overhyped as usual.

I tend to be wary of eBay sellers who use the words steal and insanity in the same lot description.

From the Drum auction:

"...open it and take your chances on striking it big to find a Honus Wagner..."

Is a Drum backed Wagner even possible?

No, but the line doesn't say it is possible. Just says you'd be taking a chance. You'll have about as much chance of pulling a T206 Honus Wagner as you have of Natalie Portman asking you to marry her within the next 48 hours, but technically that counts as a chance.

Theoretically, it's possible an elephant will fall on my head the next time I check the mail (Thank God it's Sunday).

To pursue a bit more,

It is possible that the first bit of news I read tomorrow is about how a fellow, the newly engaged fiancee of Natalie Portman, died on his way to check his mail when an elephant fell upon his head... I think I'll let my secretary check to mail tomorrow.

"I find myself alternately being educated and entertained."
if this were true for the vast majority of us, which i suspect it is...
this forum is most definitely serving it's purpose!

I owe it all to Cycleback, who fed me a great straight line. Poor Natalie...
