T206 Plank on eBay

[barrysloate]

Well...I don't actually have the deed for the bridge. It was only hypothetically for sale.

[Shoeless Moe]

Same seller of the other Plank that went for $550, sold a 52 Mantle for 5000 a few weeks ago, and now has that same card up again. Either a 2nd fake or a return. Same thing with the Rookie Joe Jackson's, has sold 2 or 3 of those. Funny how this seller is new to Ebay this month, lists only the top cards, originally states they would not accept Paypal.

Who are the mental midgets bidding on these? Maybe if the bidding on these would stop then the selling of these would.

Current:

Looks like he is re-listing the Joe Jackson. Just had a neutral feedback left from a the buyer of that card last week. He still hasn't recieved it.

Listing a card as "unknown" is one thing but he is listing his junk as "Original" and should be subject to criminal prosecution. Also I wish ebay would have some kind of chat forum on the auction pages so any buyers would see a discussion about these cards being bogus. Or a "fake"-"original" poll.

I've reported the 3 current item he has up to Ebay. I also contacted 6 or 7 of the previous buyers of his items, 6 or 7 I guess is all Ebay will let u contact in a day. So I'll contact the rest tomorrow.

Just asked them if they knew the card they bought was a fake and if it was returned. If they reply I want to ask them why they thought it was real with so many red flags. I hope to educate them a lil' cuz the less stupid people in the world the better. Minus me of course the world needs me......for something, just not sure what yet ; )

How do sellers get away with this? It is great Moe that you police these auctions the best you can. I just feel bad for these folks..

[Shoeless Moe]

I do what I can so others won't have that feeling. Almost quit collecting becuz of it, I know a friend of mine who did actually quit because it happened to him with autographs.

Back to this seller:

One buyer, the one who purchased the rookie Aaron from BaseballChick just replied to me that they did get their money back and that it was a different card sent then what was pictured.

Waiting to hear back from the others. Hopefully if just one of these people did not realize it was a fake it's not too late to get their money back for them. Don't want this seller make 1 sale!

I only buy bridges that have been graded by PSA or SGC and are encased in plastic

Looks like the seller is a 19 year old girl.

Well one of the buyer, actually the 1st, so I originally thought maybe the 1st card they sent out was real to establish good feedback, but as it turns out the 1st buyer from Baseballchick who bought the Leaf Ruth, had no idea the card was a fake when they rec'd it and up until the point I contacted him. I told him to get it checked out asap, 2 days later his response:

"Hey man, I just got my 1948 Ruth checked out and
it is a fake. Thanks for the heads up. I would
have never known. I am in the process of getting
my money back. I will keep you informed. Thanks,
Heath"

And yet Ebay ignores me when I keep reporting this sellers items, they are not taking them down. Unbelieveable. And now they have another fake Ruth and a fake DiMaggio. I'll just keep contacting the winners. Ugh!

How do you contact the winner, i thought they remanined anonymous?

If the buyer leaves feedback, they are no longer anonymous and you can can contact them.

I reported the Mantle but it still went for $4,200. It looks like she it taking a scan of a original and then send them fakes. The card in her hand is not the one in the close up scan:

The printing of the name looks like it's black to me from that scan which means fake front. Rob

Shoeless, have you tried to contact baseballchick? Has she responded?

[ctownboy]

1) Based on the hand in the Mantle picture, based on the seller selling baseball cards and a motorcycle, I don't think baseballchick is a girl/woman.

2) Why would you take a picture of a 1952 Topps Mantle you are trying to sell while in a car? Wouldn't a better background and a clearer picture make the card easier to sell?

I have not. I'm sure the response I'll get so I have not, but maybe I should. Been busy but I'll get back at it.

Not sure if Ebay shut them down or they closed out themselves, as I did contact the seller, no response. 2 or 3 buyers had fakes and didn't know. Crazy.
