This is the same thing that's been going on on ebay for ages - people like BTuttle make reprint cards from other people's scans (in this case, Library of Congress), then sell them on ebay as "old reprints". If he has advertised it as a reprint, I don't think ebay will do a damned thing about it. |

I guess this is an example where checking the feedback of a seller is very important. He has obviously received at least two separate complaints in the past for doing the same thing. |

...for the weasel to print an LOC scan and glue it to cardboard? I've also noticed that someone occasionally makes prints from the LOC scans and sells them on ebay. The difference here is that Scott and Art thought they had found real cards listed as reprints, when in fact they will probably be shipped pictures of real cards glued to cardboard (reprint or forgery?). |

Than fold the card in half and chew it in front of him! He will return the money to you are and Art and stop displaying photos of cards ( authentic ) he is not actually selling! The poor guy probably needs a job.......in prison. |

well, it took one email to convince him he was busted, he immeadiately offered a refund. i also explained the delicate nature of his predicament with the postal people and the area police. i talked to the postal people who have directed me to the local postal inspector and tommorow i show him the evidence. i advised him to cease any auctions but i doubt he will. i intend to follow up with the authorities even after i get my money back, he claims he did not take the scans from the federal site, but bought them already made up at an area flea market like they were, which is possible, the crude copy i received would have fooled many novices and was good enough from 2 feet away, it may have been the card in the scan. at any rate his ebay days are numbered. |

I understand and accept the stealing images argument, but each of the cards was clearly called a reprint. I mean this with all due respect, but, if a card is listed as a reprint, I originarilly don't bid on it as if it's authentic. |

the reasons i bid on the card were desperation for a t207 bauman and the fact that he had 2 obvious mantle reprints listed as such, my thinking was he just cut and pasted the auction description without changing it, also the card appeared real and i further thought that because it was a glossy coated t207 and he appeared to be a new lister he might actually not have know the difference. in short, i knew i might be had, but thought it worth the risk. as it turned out, i received a crudely made copy not even a reprint. at this point he is very adamant about returning my money. |

that's an easy vote. I would also permanently cancel any of his ebay handles from ever bidding on your items. |

My guess he is just bidding to stiff you, and then leave negative feedback. |

I still think there's a good argument to be made about these items being listed in the wrong category (they are NOT Pre-1950s baseball). It could also be argued that the listing titles are misleading or inappropriate. Just go to the link and fill out the form I have shown above. It takes 3 minutes. |
