1952 Topps Mays PSA 7 with 3 day auction

[111gecko]

These Ebay auctions always make me nervous...who does a 3 day auction on a card like this? Feedback is 223 with a couple of negatives, but looks pretty active...What are everyone's thoughts on these types of auctions..just makes me really cautious.

Just another douchebag scammer. He stole the image from PWCC:

I won a Mantle last week. Looks like I'll win a Mays this week.

I'd be a little cautious, BUT I wouldn't automatically write him off as a scammer. This may be real. Some of his older auctions show a decent track record of vintage stuff. You might land this at a steal, and hell, with the buyer protection, why not take a chance?

Ok, how about this. I emailed the douche bag and and told him his scam was busted and I was going to report him to eBay. He replied back and admitted he stole the scan, but said that he had another one just like it for sale and couldn't take pictures since his camera was broken. I emailed him back and told him that he could use a scanner, borrow another camera or even use a camera phone if he really had one for sale. I also insinuated to him that the '48 Leaf DiMaggio that he is also selling was probably a stolen scan as well. He replied back that indeed was, and mocked to by telling me "good luck trying to find the link." Well, I did find it. He stole the DiMaggio scan from a 2007 Robert Edward Auction:

I said I wouldn't "automatically" write him off as a scammer. That didn't mean that he wasn't, but that there was enough track record to maybe give it a chance. Anyways, good job smoking him out David. It's good seeing these f*cko's get caught before too much damage is done.

Is this the same gecko fireman d-bag?
