LOL - I needed a good laugh in the morning! Go Honus!

I have to say the same thing I said about an autographed ball on the memorabilia side: does this nitwit seller actually think that a bidder will come along, study the bids, look at the card, and then place a real bid at around $1.3 million? And then does the seller believe he will get this amount of money deposited in his paypal account without any questions or hassles whatsoever?

My point is what does a seller realistically expect from a scam like this? Does he think that even a single dollar will exchange hands? I have to say I find these listings totally baffling. Only an absolute cretin could think he is going to pull this off without a snag.

HaHa! He added a scan of the back. Hadn't seen that before.

I hope he hasn't put a down payment on that brand new Porsche he's had his eye on for awhile now.

One second thought..............I hope he has.

The dope is going to pay a pretty good size fvf on this sale. What an idiot.

It's funny how eBay pulls my listing when I mention that I accept checks yet they don't seem to catch these obvious scammers.

His other junk for sale is autographs...i am sure he spent a few minutes signing them himself.

Yeah - I think that clarifies ebay's position on who they keep an eye out for. One fraudulent transaction would net them a nice chunk of fees, circumventing Paypal would cause them to lose fees.

Pretty expensive FVF- $18,519
