ebay: baarunner

You guys totally blew it out of proportion. He has 391 positive feedback and 0 negative feedback.

If his next feedback is negative, that's 1/392 or a 0.002% chance of getting defrauded.

I'd play the odds on this one.

But only 65 of those 391 are as a seller. And with the private listing you cannot tell what he sold, could have been phone cards for $1, not $400baseball cards. Besides, who wants to deal with an azzole?

I must have missed something here. OP wanted extra pics of a card that has good F/B pics already and OP also has located pics of the card from another auction. So the seller wants his feedback stuff set to private. I don't know how to do it or mine would be also for certain reasons. I guess I am not seeing what the issue is with the seller other than he don't want to be bothered with extra crap. I think we(I know I do) get a little over paranoid sometimes.

BTW read his feedback. A lot of signed balls got sold and he is selling more now. Maybe disposing of his collection. I know I want to bid since this whole board is gonna back off now. Might get a great deal or wait 2 wks for paypal to refund me lol.

Presuming he is the owner of the card, and picked it up from the Spring Memory Lane auction here just a few weeks ago: http://www.memorylaneinc.com/site/bi...emid=23644#pic

where he spent $3.5k... and with the card sitting at $316 for 2 days... I don't know about you, but I want as many bidders as possible. In fact, an SGC 60 Brunners Mathewson went for $45k just four years ago.

He could be legit, but his most recent feedback is for buying a few cheap autographed balls (multiples of Mariano Rivera), and some running shoes and accessories.

I don't think it was out of the ordinary for me to ask for a picture of the card next to a piece of paper with his eBay name. Extra hassle... sure, but worth getting another bidder? absolutely. Especially when his scans are identical to the Memory Lane and Huggins and Scott auctions.

Excellent points. Not only are the scans the same, but he also uses the same description.

I actually had a decent snipe set on this card, but will now be deleting it. Good luck to those bidding -- I'm out. Thanks for the thread.

And what exactly was the deal with the Matty that sold for $45K. I saw that when researching how much to bid on the eBay Mathewson. Wow!

Get a grip folks.

They're identical scans because the card hasn't changed in appearance since the auction. Do these cards change shape? Color?

Perhaps he wanted to save time by not having to scan the card when he can easily use the best scan already available.

Yes, but when there isn't a reverse scan he would be wise to put one out there, but he doesn't and doesn't provide one when asked for one. So it is beyond just using the exact scan, he doesn't provide any other scans that he doesn't have access to online.

For instance the Durocher only has a front scan online. That is the only scan that is used. Why not add a reverse scan of the card?

Sounds like you may have an invested interest I was for the seller till the evidence came out about the auction scans. To much of this happens in the hobby so when flags start flying its best to step away. We make mistakes sometimes(I do) but its hard to over look these facts

So you don't see any red flags? You wouldn't have any hesitation sending this seller $4K?

We've got:

1. private selling feedback

2. multiple cards for sale that were recently purchased at auction, all being sold right away, and all using the same scans as the online auctions. Not one card that wasn't recently auctioned off.

3. a horrible attitude and zero customer service. If you need to handle a return, how fun will it be to deal with this guy?

Granted, nobody is going to lose actual money paying by cc via paypal, but you are looking at a major headache and loss of time if you win this auction and it ends up being a scam.

I've got a bridge to sell you...

He only has about 20 as a seller and most of the useful information about those is hidden. He has made every attempt to be secretive and combative. You go ahead and bid, then. There's not a card in the world I would bid on under these circumstances.
