1952 Christmas Rack Pack with Mantle

[hcv123]

Unknowing buyer would have to open pack to send in and find out card is a fake. If they bought it thinking it was real, they would likely never open it and find out

I wrote the seller last night asking him some less than desirable questions about these packs and cards but received no reply as of yet.

As far as I know, I am not blocked/banned, but I will say I am disappointed to see he doesn't ship to Canada.

Try and ask him another question. My guess is you have been BLOCKED
Let me know

"Message sent" so I am not blocked yet. I just finished asking him if he had any reply/answers to my questions.

The rack with the bad Mantle has been bouncing around, someone attempted to sell to my friend who owns Mt. Penn Sportscards in Pa. Please avoid the fantasy Christmas packs.

If he thought Mantle was real, he would be better off opening pack and getting it graded.

That was me. I came across the auction and forwarded it to Tony at Mt. Penn Sports Cards, who I have known for several years now, to get his thoughts on the pack, not to try and sell it to him. He sent the pictures to either you or your son and someone else unrelated to you guys, and you all quickly told Tony that the Mantle was 100% fake and that is when I decided I was not going to bid... and then the starting price went up to $15K anyway. Just wanted to clarify that no one was trying to sell the pack to Mt. Penn Sports Cards and this pack really has not been bouncing around, it was just me asking Tony what he thought and he deferred to you .

For $24k, he should walk the card up to Canada!

Anyone know who Robert Haimer is?

The scary part about this all is the buyer isn't going to learn it's fake, if ever, until he opens the package and sends in the Mantle for grading, at which point good luck returning it.

assuming money changed hands..

A fool and his money are lucky to get together in the first place. I'm not excusing the fraudster but there has to be an element of accountability on the part of the buyer. This is the eBay equivalent of an email from a Nigerian prince. Before plunking down that kind of money I'd do my homework because a quick search online would establish what a scam this is likely to be.
