Is this FF 1 CGC 6.0 a scam?

Check this out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32731&item=2238089471&rd=1

 

Is this the same book that's being auctioned at Heritage's website?

Even at the small sized scan, I think the red "inkspray" is the same.

 

Is this a scam???

 

If it is, him.

Looks like the same book to me. Ask him for a serial #

 

Contact ebay and they should pull it.

Just blew up his image..it is the same serial #....what a punk.

What serial # is it then?

 

I've been working in Photoshop for 14 years and I can't get a ledgible # by blowing it up. It's a 96 dpi photo that doesn't lend itself to being blown up for reading the label.

I can make out the "4047" sequence in the middle of the serial #. Its faint, but it matches the one on Heritage.

I agree that this is a rip-off auction, especially when one overlays the images. The paint overspray on the top matches very, very closely, even with the inferior scan, as does the spine-wrap. MoFo, your eyes must be a helluva lot better than mine to make out a numerical sequence!

 

Kudos to all who spot this stuff - you guys make ebay a little safer - thanks.

My eyes look a lot like this guys...

Good work. I would hope that this would be enough grounds for the EBay police to go after these insufficiently_thoughtful_persons and rattle their cage a bit. Hate to think that nothing would be done.

What program did you blow this up with?

 

I too have been a Photoshop guru for many years and my old arshe eyes can't make that out.

[JiveTurkeyMoFo]

I just saved the image to my desktop and opened it up with the standard Windows Picture & fax viewer.

[uclapeterg]

Has someone reported it? I talked to Ebay live and they agreed it was the same picture. Anyone know precisely where to report it? They said Safe Harbor. Please give me a link.

"CGC screw job" heh heh... buffooon!

[Silver Surfer]

Not sure what Safe Harbour is but I just tried to report it by email and I kept getting a message saying "item ID # is invalid". Someone please confirm that they were able to report this dip .

[Room 237]

I hope so too, the link is still active and someone is gonna get burned

[Silver Surfer]

They should let him carry on and then nail him if he tries to make a sale but I suspect he will pull the item himself before the auction closes. Lower the boom on this jerk. People should start emailing this guy, make him nervous.

[uclapeterg]

The seller pulled the listing. Thanks guys for your help! I will continue to look for suspicious auctions.

Good eye....

 

So that's it? E-bay should toss this guy
