It's possible I guess. My account was compromised last week, and Ebay shut it down before I could find out.

The feedback looks pretty poor, but his one negative is also from a new user. He described the videogame as "new" but stated in his description that he played it once. Doesn't sound new to me, but it was in the description....

Ebay just seems to get weirder all the time.

I was high bidder when he ended the auction. He emailed me and told me his account was hijacked as well. I did not repsond.

No chance his account was hijacked. Makes no sense. Somebody hijacked his account to list a '52 Topps Mantle PSA 9, but today he happens to list the same card in a PSa 8??? Yes, that happens to me all the time. He is a BS scammer.

I cannot believe that ebay allows this to go on. For the PSA 9 he had up, the specifics of the item stated an original 1952 card in PSA 9 ( not a reprint, not a photo etc ) and the title says nothing about it being a photo. Then the seller adds text in dull yellow about the photo way below. I would think he would get serious jail time for a scam like this.

To the extent his account was hacked, how did the card change from a PSA 9to a PSA 8 ? with different serial numbers. The second auction is still up.
Buyer beware.

after watching the Judge Judy video, i was so irate with the smugness of the seller of the picture.. It is hard to believe there are people like this out there!

Sometimes you wish you could reach through the tv and smack someone!

wow....no wonder i try to stay away from feebay/ fleabay!

This guy is about to get $20,000+ in his paypal account. I hope paypal makes him mail the card out first before it clears or else I think this dude is going to mexico.

Ummmm, no he's not. I am the high bidder with a proxy of nearly a million dollars to make sure I win. The only thing this idiot will get is a negative.

Where do you think he got the scan? from someone's registry or from the internet? I found the actual photo he is using on google in about 30 seconds on my 2nd search for "PSA 8 mantle"


see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sportsc...ly/3317791747/

He clearly ripped off the photo from that story. Make sure you don't pay him !
The photo belongs to From SportsCollectorsDaily.com - same serial number

So, he can also be sued for copyright infringement in addition to you sticking it to him !

The Mantle that this scammer has listed is the same one that sold in the Heritage October 2009 auction: http://sports.ha.com/common/view_ite...No=81030#Photo

I am still high bidder on this card at $600K+

The seller emailed me this morning and said, "With only 15 hours left, I hope you are legit and really have this 600,000 plus. I will not ship until that money has cleared into my bank account just to make sure that it all goes smoothly."

My reply was, "I hope you are legit as well. I have twice asked you for scans of the back, but my requests have been ignored. If you're selling a $600K card, you would think you could post a scan of the back. We'll find out who is and isn't legit very soon."

He replied asking me for my email address and said that he would send me a scan of the back. He did so and this is what I received:



As I first stated, this Mantle was sold by Heritage about 18 months ago. However, here is the problem. These are the scans from Heritage:



The back scan of the Heritage auction looks nothing like the scan of the back that the seller provided.

I can't wait to win this card and blast this douche with a negative.
