What do you think about this TOS #46 scam???

[ericc123]

Comic is advertised as NM. Seller has one feedback but he's been on ebay for a year. His one feedback is for selling a comic that he described as NM and he got a positive for it. He says in his auction that you can email him for a larger scan and I did twice and haven't gotten a response yet. I also asked him if he would accept a return if I didn't agree with his grading but like I said I haven't recieved a response yet. So do you think it's a scam? If not is it NM?

Hmm... IMO it's not worth rolling the dice. New seller and no communication? Forget it.

The auction I think is legit. Discloses foxing - didn't have to. Accepts paypal / credit card. Because of the price, it won't sell. At $300.00 it's more of a sale than an auction as the comic guides @ $253.00 in this condition and I am sure the foxing will deter many hi-grade collectors.

It's definitely not NM...

But looks like a solid VF/VF-.

Not a good deal for the price, so that alone should be reason not to buy it.

As for whether or not this is legit....tough to tell..but it's still overpriced.

If I was going to bid on something like this I wouldnt go over VG guide without seeing it in person. The issues you mentioned, plus the possibility of restoration are just too risky.

you gotta admit, its a weird choice to begin a crriminal/scam ebay career with.

Being the huge TOS fan that I am I emailed the seller also and got the large scans. However, the bottom half of them came out wrong, back cover bottom half grey, and front cover bottom had a yellowish highlight to it. From what I could see not a NM by CGC's standards. I would say 7.5ish. But I do think the seller was legit.

 

You know there are no raw true VF+ and higher books on ebay anyways!
