Before I go any further I wanted to give thanks to Michael Reese, who also took the time to contact Sportlots about this matter. Michael was also kind enough to share this reply that he received:
"Yes, all auctions from this seller has been pulled and put on hold until we can confirm one way or another if these are legit cards. It’s not possible for me to accuse them as such based on images, but agree that these are very suspicious. I will get to the bottom of this and they won’t be listing anymore until we can confirm.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention."
I know some of you might be getting a little tired of reading about this, and honestly, I was getting a little tired of talking about it, but I do believe these posts served their purpose... which was simply to get a few people on board who were interested in trying to prevent some of our fellow collectors from being the victim of fraud, and you know something? That is exactly what we did!
Thanks for taking a moment to look at my page.
That's great news. Your diligence paid off and saved dozens of collectors from getting scammed. Excellent work my friend!
ReplyDeleteIt was the best news that I've heard in what seems like quite awhile. I have a feeling that this might only be a temporary reprieve though, as their is no way that this seller won't be popping up somewhere else and continuing with their shady ways.
DeleteGood job!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was nice that the group effort was able to succeed.
DeleteGreat work. And I don't think anyone will get tired of reading about this. No one wants to be duped, and we really don't want people profiting by passing off reprints as genuine, because that just invites even more people to attempt the same thing, then pretty soon you can't trust a vintage card anywhere.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like it's getting to the point where you almost can trust any kind of vintage collectible, what with all the reproductions out there. Now if there was just a way to clean up eBay...
DeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteIt is really great to know that a small group of people are still capable of bringing forth change.
Deletewell done, well done indeed
ReplyDeleteYes, everyone who got involved should feel very proud of what we were able to accomplish.
DeleteGreat work! Persistence pays off.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't always work, but thankfully this time seems to have done the trick.
