Yea, I saw the Wagner earlier listed in the T206 section. Only $10K opening bid and $1M BIN. I think someone with $1M to spend on this hobby would have some knowledge, ( I would hope). He would have had better luck sticking to the $49 BIN's for newbies, not that I would want to see them scammed either. |

Rules of thumb include: a picture isn't worth 100x more than the book it was cut out of; be wary of sellers who use text fonts larger than the cards offered; be wary of sellers who average more than three explanation points per sentence; be wary of sellers use more than five colors per paragraph and/or text colors that cause seizures in Japanese children; be wary of the baseball card seller who uses the words "relic" and "rare find" in the same sentence; be wary of the seller who uses the phrase "If they can send a man to the moon, anything's possible, right?" more than twice in a single description; be wary of a pictured beautiful babe seller who signs her email Carl. |

It was the fine print that set me off...j/k...whatever font size they chose - it was wrong |

I think from now on when I see crap like this for sale, I am going to E mail the seller and ask if I can pay with Monopoly money. |

I've always wanted to have a fake Ebay ID, and buy this "card", leaving the scammer with huge Ebay fees. |

Barry, You are correct. It was $10M. My problem was I stopped counting digits after what I thought it was worth. The two on the right side of the decimal. |

David, That reminds me of the joke "Larry the Cable Guy" tell about paying a stripper with monopoly money. She complained, " Hey these are fake!!And he points at her chest and replies well so are those too. |

I was thinking what if somebody did hit the BIN at $10 million...what would his liability be? Nobody could ever expect him to pay the tab. |

I still think the seller's account was hijacked-it seems like his primary business is selling wood. |

No, I don't think his account was hijacked because he just listed some shiny crap from the 1990's. I think he is either ignorant or a scam artist or both. |

I don't believe the 'winner' would be legally required to pay the $10 million. Judges generally work under the assumption that a "this for that" exchange contract should involve a reasonably or at least remotely fair exchange-- or at least an exchange! Does trading $10 million for $0 even qualify as an exchange? Many judges would say it is fine if someone wishes to pay $10 million for a worthless scrap of paper not worth 10 cents or if someone wants to give the money as a gift, but would not rule this auction contract as an enforceable "this for that" contract as they don't see an exchange taking place (a worthless scrap of paper essentially counting as nothing, at least in comparison to $10 million). |

Ah, OK I see-he does have a couple other items like the Cobb. He seems to have a thriving wood business though! Curioser and curioser. |
