I know that we are not "supposed" to be reporting this stuff here but it does not appear that I am interupting too many bigger issues. |

Is the scam that the cards are not real? or is the scam that you will never receive the cards at the end of the auctions? |

I've decided that I am all for private auction (seriously). Because this is the easiest way for a beginner to identify scams. One doesn't have to know the first thing about cards. All the total beginner has to know is to avoid private ebay auctions (along with ones that say, as in this one, "No guarantee" and "All sales are final"), and he or she will automatically bypass 85+ perecent of these scams. A private auction is the equivalent of an email header saying "This is spam. Delete before reading message." |

A related point being that if private auctions were abolished (as I previously advocated), the scammers would turn to other perhaps less obvious techniques. Using a private eBay auction is such an obvious and simple to identify red flag, we really should consider their use by scammers a gift. |

I hate to beat a dead horse (Obviously, that's not true or I would shut up once in a while), but in one or moe of these auctions, the seller says: |

I hope the buyers from this guy sue ebay. I will be glad to provide an affidavit that ebay knew in advance that the items were counterfeit and did nothing. This is a different situation than when ebay pretends it didn't know. This time they know! |

I don't have much sympathy for the bidders, but it also irks me to see ebay turning into another Yahoo Auctions - I really hope James' idea for vintage card auctions takes off. |

Great call on the Glasscock image, TBob. I also reported this guy to Ebay, though I doubt they'll do anything considering the profit he's about to bring them. |

I have emailed them several times, included pictures of the L of C images, links galore, and even questioned their intestinal fortitude. Nothing. Nada. Zip. I am thinking of being the high bidder on one of the cards just to file criminal charges against this guy as that might be the only way to stop him. It seems so fruitless, like Sisyphus pushing the giant boulder up the hill in mythology, time after time, only to have it roll back down on him. |

Tom Boblitt alerted us to this guy yesterday: prizesports@yahoo.com, Now he is either lifting scans from bellyfly69 and eagle8016 or he/she has a VERY close relationship with them. Compare the prizesport 1952 Bowman Mantle #101 (#2746027343) with that of eagle (completed # 2745508898). Same card. Compare the prizesport 1895 Mayo Cut Plug Hugh Duffy (#2746030801) with that of eagle (completed # 2745501375). Same card again. Each of these auctions began within two hours after eagle’s similar auction ended. Huh. Prizesports’ 1933 Goudey Sport Kings Ty Cobb #1 (2745986303) is the same card as that in bellyfly69’s auction (completed #2744524483). |

What a damn shame that ebay could care less about scam artists like Eagle and his ilk. Prizesport and another guy crawled out from their rocks tonight. The vintage card section is like a mine field filled with fakes, replicas, reproductions and copies. |

Other than giving the ebay complaint department something to read and then ignore, are we serving any purpose other than alerting each other about the scam artists like Eagle8016? |

Keep the prssure on ebay and Eagle8016. According to one report, he/she has now passed $60,000.00 in sales of fake and replicated cards. |
