Either it’s the luckiest snag or…..

A PSA 5 33 Goudey Gehrig just sold with 1 bid for $7500 from a 0 feedback seller. First, does this card belong to anyone here? Secondly, what’s the odds this is a legit auction?

I'm gonna go with "0"

There is somewhere between 0 and 1% that the auction was real.

I searched sold listings for 33 Goudey Gehrig with sorting as listed recently to bring all new sales to top.

Not sure how many guys know you can sort by listed recently on sold items to bring up sales in descending order. Hope this helps some with the frustration of sales not being in order.

Very odd....why does the front image look different from the back??? Notice how the front image gives the appearance of a sticker on the back of the case, yet when the scans is of the back of the card, the sticker is missing???

Not that it adds much legitimacy to the auction, but the missing label on the reverse could be from either removal of a piece of paper affixed to the bag with tape or something before snapping the shot, or the addition of a label after taking the back shot before taking the front shot. Seems odd to go through the trouble to track down and steal pictures of a PSA 5 front from one listing and the back from another. Not to mention, the corners on the back seem to line up with the wear on the front.

The card front-back are the same - there are stains along the top and right border that match up on the back.

I still think the sale isn't real though as he also sold a 52 Topps Mantle for $6,750 and multiple copies of what I think is a rare Magic card.

This tells me that it was/is a scam.

The Mantle is odd. The pic shows a '2' but the description says it's a 3.5. Most card collectors can at least get that little tidbit right. Especially one that owns a card of that magnitude.
