Everyone is watching this, so I figure a $100,000 card is hard to "out". Below is the Garter from Hunt and then the below that is the one from Ebay. I will not be bidding on the item offered on Ebay, cause the story is a little fishy to say the least. BUT, it looks soooo good, it will be hard not to wonder what if. The 2 cards look very (very) similar. Anyone have any thoughts?

An overseas scam is my bet.

Same card. Scam.

Beware of Germans bearing garters.

Dan, roll your tongue back into your mouth. Total scam. Does anyone honestly think it is conceivable that someone would have a card such as this, not get it graded, and sell it from a foreign country?

Nope, scam. The identical top-to-bottom off-centering on the front of both cards give this away. Of all cards, why did they choose to scam this one!

It appears to have a little border on the bottom. If I had to guess, I'd guess fake though.

Jeff-
I know it is a fake. I just wanted it to be real like the holmes to Jax that I passed on for $4k. I picked up a raw Jackson Sporting News on Ebay a while back and got it in an SGC 50 holder. This one is a tad more obvious. I did consider it to the point that I called Mastercard and asked them to back me up. When they said no, I knew I was over my head. You know your a baseball card junkie when... You call Mastercard! Thanks Leon

Yeah, that's the problem with the card: no way any credit card company or paypal will cover this disaster.

the bottom left is different and the outer part of the inside diamond frameline has orange , to where this has the outer edge tones.

I cant say if the auction is legit, but the 2 cards pictured are not the same exact card.

i'm with fkw.

i cannot say whether this is a legit card or auction (probably not real) BUT...

top-bottom & left-right centering are totally different.

I have an officemate who is presently in Germany and will be for another week. I emailed the seller and told him that if I win the auction I would like to wire funds to Germany and have my friend hand deliver cash for payment for the card. The seller has not responded.

actually, i just had both images side-by-side...

they are closer then i originally thought...i am seeing the same little stains/imperfections on both...probably the same scan, just much lighter, faded image.

if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

edited to add: to me the centering is still different, but that could have been photoshoped or cropped somehow...

"Same card. Scam."

I stand by my statement. The corner wear tells the story.

Anthony, I believe they call them lederhosen over there...

Ebay has pulled the listing.

Damn it to hell. I received an email back from the seller about my request to have someone meet him in Germany with money if I won the auction. The answer was complete gibberish.

Jeff- you could have bought a big bag of nothing.....I always appreciate big bags of nothing....

idiot scammers....
