1933 Ruth, Buyer Beware
https://www.ebay.com/itm/193775730859
The case has been tampered with, plus his other cards speak for itself. This card is going to sell for big money |

There are so many things wrong with that card and the slab.

There are so many things wrong that if you buy it you ALMOST deserve to get screwed.

I cant imagine the seller doesn't have a clue. Although, the feedback isn't as suspicious as the usual. Has anyone contacted them?
|
No bids on the '52T Mantle or Leaf Dimaggio yet :D
Their last four '52T Mantles sold, must be a big collector. :rolleyes: |

Has anyone told SGC? I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be amused by that shitty replica of their holder.

It's unreal the garbage ebay allows on their website. This seller has been a seller for on ebay for 20 years and has only positive feedback. Ya right.
Their feedback ratings can be totally unreliable. Case in point - I recently sold a card to a buyer for best offer and saw that he had 100% feedback and 600 or so ratings, so I felt good about the sale. Then I looked at the detailed feedback and 80% of the comments said the buyer never paid and never responded to emails. My fault for not checking, but what's annoying is that all these people who trashed the buyer in their verbal review had him reviewed as "Positive Feedback." I'm pretty sure they hit negative feedback so how did it end up as positive feedback and why hasn't eBay banned this buyer since I'm sure dozens of people, including myself, complained on eBay? |
It's even more frustrating when a buyer pulls a return scam and you have no way of leaving them feedback to warn the next person. As I've stated in other threads, I'm done selling on Ebay.
I wish there was another option alternative to Ebay besides the periodic AH auctions. Lots of barriers to entry, but it could be done. |
One CANNOT hit the "NEGATIVE" button when leaving feedback for a Buyer, ONLY Positive.
If I blast the buyer in the text, I have to leave the feedback as POSITIVE and rely on other Buyers and Sellers to read my criticism! It SUCKS that THAT is how it "works" |
Thanks, I did not know that.

Technically the flip reads "sgc.card.com" rather than the actual "sgccard.com". Maybe this scammer can say it is a different SGC since they're not referencing their actual website?
Or maybe the scammer is just a moron and couldn't type the SGC website correctly on their fake flip. |

EVen IF that was a legit card, it's fugly as heck. Seriously, if you bid on this card you deserve everything you get. You should do some modicum of research before dropping that kind of money, unless you have money to burn, in which case, so what?

I’m also an IP lawyer, and if the TPGs care at all about brand integrity, they should be sending cease and desist letters to these con artists. eBay will never take down a listing unless it misuses a federally registered trademark without altering the mark in any way, and even then it’s like pulling teeth. But the TPGs have protectable trade dress rights in the appearance of their slabs, which they should be asserting. |

If you follow some of their feedback on where they made purchases, it leads to this Seller.
https://www.ebay.com/sch/jenlee1114/...1&_ipg=&_from= They seem to sell fakes in BCG holders. |
Nice corners
Has nice corners for a battered reprint...

I just came across this ridiculousness on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1926-W512-6...0AAOSwN5BfHglv
But get this - the seller also has a PSA3 Goudey Ruth: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1933-Goudey...gAAOSwFXddg~Ym What to make of that? |
The cards look totally authentic, just priced a bit high.

Also since when does a 4 equal vg?
|
Wow. I've never seen one seller with so many sold '52 Mantles and AF 15's.
|
Fwiw, I reported those 2 horrible Ruth’s , maybe if enough on here do, eBay will be forced to take a look?

Yea 99 percent of the time if I report an eBay item nothing happens, but I’ve seen instances when an issue arises on the board here and enough report that they actually do something. Rare, but can happen occasionally.

Just spotted another example, although some sucker already paid $167.50 for it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1933-Goudey...97.m4902.l9144 |

then choose counterfeit or authenticity disclaimer counterfeit, fake, replica items then you can write a brief description of complaint |
I reported it to eBay as well and also reached out to SGC to let them know. When I click on the original link it appears it has gone poof!!! Maybe we actually got this one removed before someone shelled out big money.

Just contacted this guy to tell him to take his fake cards elsewhere. Nice PSA label...
|
But wait there's more:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Babe-Ruth-1...oAAOSwPMpfxlUu and I love the feedback that he has received: Card was 100% fake, seller immediately refunded money, no problems. |
Those darned estate sales where ol' grandad was making fake holders on his attic.
|
I posted another thread about this, but is a prewar card in a “BCG” (not BCCG) slab a major red flag as far as authenticity?
