Check out his description and all the instructions and requirements he puts on making payment and viewing the actual the card. Wants to sell a card for 12.5k yet can't post a picture of the card.

Bank is closed, can't take a picture. Why not wait until Tuesday to list the card? Or Monday, is Labor Day a holiday in Canada? Or break into the bank today!

To my knowledge Adrian would never post his own images of his own cards on the forum. He had some sort of strange phobia about it.

If you can tell me where he bought the Murr'y, I can tell you what he paid for it.

I was just thinking a bit could this entire situation with Adrian be some elaborate ruse. Could he not in fact own any of the cards he purported purchased. He comes on net54 causes a huge scene with the intent to make a large portion of the collecting community believe that he owns the cards. He then waits a modest amount of time and offers the cards. He doesn't post the cards he is going to sell only points the potential buyers to other sites where they can be viewed. He also has specific instructions about payment that are not the norm. Could he be trying to sell cards that he made high profile that he doesn't own. Boy that would be some preplanned swindle.

Could it be possible?

Just a thought.

He didn't seem smart enough to pull that off. Unless that was part of the ruse.
He came off too nutty and manic for it to be an act in my opinion. Just another whack job who unfortunately found this site.

He also listed his PSA4 52 Mantle, stating it should be a 5 or 6. And the auction will run for 3 days and if no buyers he'll keep it. He listed it and pulled it within 19 minutes. I say give him a 3 day pass to return here to answer questions on the thread

A quick review of his recent bidding shows several major cards purchased that do not appear in his feedback, and two others that have sarcastic positives and have been relisted. His 100 percent feedback is certainly misleading. I would seriously recommend that anyone selling significant cards on ebay consider adding him (1952toppsmantle) to their blocked bidder list.

But pete, how is that possible...when good old adrian completes 99.6% of all his transactions?

Proof positive ebay's metrics have become a dismal failure!

Since a seller who gets stiffed can't leave negative feedback, yeah, it can be just a bit misleading.

This guy is a joke...

"***I will ONLY ship this card out once the funds have cleared in my account***"

Pretty much says I want to pull the money out of paypal before I even ship... This is direct advertising that you cannot return the card and are screwed if anything is wrong with the transaction.

He does not even picture his own card... What a sheister...

He is charging $12,500 for the card is still charging $125 shipping... What a joke, I'd love to see him in person to call him an idiot and slap him upside the head. This guy is an artist.

Default Guess he changed his mind again...
"This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing."
