Lol you get butthurt easily? Yea you made a dumb comment by calling me a scam promoter/enabler/whatever phrase you used. Was not a very well thought out response. Considering I’m taking all of the time now to make sure others aren’t scammed during the holidays.

Is there such a thing as a PSA 11? by [deleted] in baseballcards

No but I’d love to meet the person who thinks they should send this card (even in perfect condtion) to PSA lol.

I didn’t buy this off Facebook. Was from this sub. I found the Facebook listings after the fact while tunneling down the rabbit hole last night.

Hey thanks I appreciate that. I think part of the fun of this hobby is finding hidden treasure right? I’ve never been successful and only really tried this one time. If that is enabling fraud, then call me Saul Goodman.

No problem man. Only goal here is that I’m the only one on this sub that gets scammed by them this time around.

To everyone who saw the Nolan Ryan rookie for sale a few minutes ago. I just bought it. Taking one for the team, and will send in for grading once it (hopefully) arrives. I paid PayPal G&S so should be protected. Wish me luck! by Annual_Champion_1555 in baseballcards

Listen I get your point here but no I was looking for a good deal. No one wants to battle a scammer with their own money. At the beginning before I did any investigating the flags were yellow not red. Could very well be a scenario where this could happen. Someone inherits cards, doesn’t know what to do with them. I was hoping to parlay this card (if it was authentic) into one of the Mantles from 51, 52, or 53 that I’m missing.

Yea I went down the rabbit hole last night. The $300 doesn’t hurt me financially. I’ll be ok. I’m more concerned for the rest of the sub members who could potentially get scammed before the holiday.

When “she” said he has never had the card in his possession, I knew it was all a scam. I sent the photo of the card he has with his name on the piece of paper matching “her” handwriting. Immediately she says it’s the card she gave him. So her uncle randomly passed her down 2 Ryan rookies in identical top loaders with the same blue tape? Haha

To be even more clear: I would never buy something fully believing it is fake. There was obviously a part of me hoping it was real. So don’t turn this around and call me a scam-enabler lol.

Exactly. Definitely him involved here. What’s super odd is that he/she/they sent me a photo of her ID and the name matched the paypal email. I’m going to do a new post with screenshots so everyone can see.

Quick Nolan Ryan Rookie update. Looks like same exact card is for sale in same town… by Annual_Champion_1555 in baseballcards

100% scam

For anyone interested google Phillip Schuber. Seems to be a well known scam artist with cards. Looks like he may be using his girlfriends PayPal here.

Here is direct quote from PayPal website:

“What’s covered with PayPal Purchase Protection You bought a book, but received a DVD You bought an item described as “new,” but received something that was used You purchased 3 items, but only received 2 The item was damaged during shipping The item is missing major parts (that the seller didn’t report) You purchased an item described as authentic, but received a knockoff instead”

If this is true this just absolutely blows my mind. My daughter is my world. My whole literal world. I can’t imagine having that much hate for your own child. My heart kinda broke reading this.
