1938 Goudey Proof

Yes, and I left two negative feedbacks for a fraudster who had an underbidder who just bids on his items and also has a fake name (yes, I checked) drive up my final price twice -- and the negative feedbacks were removed by ebay in 3 days without even telling me.

Look, as I've said repeatedly, this hobby is filled with fraud and it is presumed and shrugged off as a 'cost of doing business.' Auction companies engage in multi-million dollar obvious fraud and a majority of people on the board still defend them. Dealers at shows lie to customers' faces and we're told that we should just laugh about it and walk away.

By the way, I have now been banned by Mastro/Legendary which makes them the second set of great guys who have banned me in the past six months. So, at least I'm annoying the right people.

Wasn't me that told you that! I do see a difference between a dealer who drastically overprices his cards and an auction house that shills. The former is just stupidity. The latter is fraud.

The part where he told you it was "Cobb's Rookie"? That moved him past stupidity and into fraud.

Nice that they waited until after you bought your D322 Wagner from them to do that.

And tens of thousands of dollars of other cards as well. My advice to would-be consignors of valuable Cobb and Chase items in the future: you might want to try REA if you want a certain guy from NYC with apparently bigger pockets than brains to drive up the price on your cards because he won't be bidding in Mastro/Legendary/Goodwin.

Despite being blocked from bidding in their auctions, you might want to ask to see what cards they have behind their tables.
