I wrote the g uy and told him he was basically a crook w this card. Pull it, call it a reprint or Id report him. This crap burns me and I don't care if he or ebay gets upset. Between this and fake autographs, too bad our hobby is full of liers, crooks, idiots and just plain dumb people

Sorry I had to vent.

I'm surprised his description didn't mention it is the rare upside-down-misprint version.

Unfortunately there's a new dipshit everyday trying to pull a scam in our hobby......it will never change.

I checked out the linked auction. The "it was my grandfather's card" description just seems so tired and played out. That being said, I am still somewhat surprised the scammer found someone to buy a raw '33 Goudey Ruth in "near mint or mint" condition. Yea, nothing suspicious at all about such a card being offered for $750 by a seller with a feedback of "2".

WAIT. its been SOLD????? I just saw that.

I am the new PROUD owner

I actually emailed him and offered MORE than the asking price, just didnt feel comfortable "stealing" this card from him @ $750

Because eBay looks the other way and makes it so easy for scammers to operate, I've been trying to quit using it for some time. It's just not right. I've never been burned, but I'm simply tired of seeing all this nonsense. Did somebody actually buy this Ruth for $750? I've been going cold turkey since late February. I wonder what eBay would do if enough buyers left? I'm using the Net54 Buy/Sell/Trade forum more often, and I'm looking forward to attending more shows ...
