Check out this scammer!

I guess what's also disturbing is someone who would drop $5k on a card without even fully reading the description.

I reported it after I posted it as well.

Umm, in the yellow I think he is trying to say that the card you are bidding on is the card pictured, right? Poorly worded

I really don't think so, Pat. Look at his feedback. 66%?? And all he has sold are a few video games?? He gives no real information that someone that owns a '52 Mantle in PSA 9 would give. No back scan, nothing. I think he's simply saying he will mail you a piece of paper with a picture of that card on it, plain & simple. He's trying to make a fortune on the hopes no one will read the fine print and then they can't open a case against him because he stated what the item was... 30 lines down and in a two point font.

EDIT: If you look even further down, he posted this: "This is not the actual card, you are bidding on the picture of this card."

this is exactly how I also took it, only receiving a picture of the card, sent message and never responded

Reminds me of this Judge Judy episode where an eBay scammer sold pictures of cell phones rather than the actual phones the purchaser thought they were bidding on.

I am the current high bidder at $88,675. I hope I win so I can blast this douche bag with a negative!

People are so stupid on Ebay. That site is filled with so many speculators that most seem clueless. I've seen time and time again people recklessly bid on an item and then complain they were taking. Many times, you can read into the posting and tell it's a scam.
