I wanted to warn everyone that eBay seller werldphamus420 (member since Feb 12, 2007 with zero feedback) has stolen images from other eBay auctions and is selling the cards as his own. I recognize some of the eBay userid's that have bid on the Grove card, but I'm not sure if they are members of this board or not. I contacted eBay today regarding his auctions, but they haven't done anything about them yet.

werldphamus420's auctions are as follows:
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZwerldphamus420QQhtZ-1>

The legitimate auctions are as follows:
270093851951
220087475822
270092872643

http://cgi.ebay.com:80/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270093851951&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:US:1

The real seller of the Grove card cancelled his listing because of werldphamus420.

I pegged a seller doing some shill bidding on multiple auctions of his through the past month. It was very obvious and blatent. I put it all together and sent it all to ebay's Safeharbor last night. They say it takes 24-48 hours (I think) for them to do anything. It's been 24 so far, we'll see what happens.

Change your socks, drink water, and drive on.

I'd also watch the bidding on those cards. One bidder, also new, retracted a bid. His one feedback is from the same seller of the cards.

Change your socks, drink water, and drive on.

I emailed this seller. I asked "Why is your auction identical to this auction?". I then pasted a link to the one ended early. Just got a response back. Here's his answer, exactly as written.

"bcuz i dont have a picture and i had no idea how to describe a baseball card"

Change your socks, drink water, and drive on.
