EBay Seller of the Month

[Paul_Ambrey]

Here are 2 I picked up .Both were signed in front of me.

Those little paper COAs are from a collector/sig hunter from 10 or so years ago. A few came with signed cards I bought years ago and I just threw them away as the format was useless - absolutely nothing to definitively tie the "COA" to the card in question. As far as I could tell, all the sigs were genuine though.

Now I know some people are paying absolutely STUPID prices for a Turbo IP at the moment, but this takes the cake, considering those "slabs" are 1 to 10 cards - $15 per card Slabbing fee + $10 flat rate shipping. PS: to add insult to injury, the card has corner issues and the sig is smudged.

I had never seen a Norm Provan signature like that, thanks for sharing Paul.

So the above is obviously genuine, which means the IP Team of the Century could be also.

Noticed this as well, common, IP signed commons and low end inserts going for huge amounts.

There seems to be a bit of overseas interest at the moment. I have had a few inquiries on cards from US based persons.

Common Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne cards, sometimes graded sometimes raw are also fetching decent coin. The releases from Futera in the early 90’s that featured touring teams are often being marketed as those players ‘rookie cards’.

A bit late on this but.

I've also got a Provan where he has underlined his sig with the N and also ones one cards where he didn't.

I hadn't ever noticed this before.

I was watching this when it had 2 bids over $500 as I’ve seen them on eBay for ages not selling at $400. Interesting??

I thought it might have gone higher. I only listed it after seeing the Lewis sell for $1200.

I have been in the IP hobby for a long time and have always been wary of people who offer COAs. Why do you need to go the extra mile to justify something is real with a meaningless piece of paper? It feels like they are overcompensating. More often than not I feel that the wariness has been justified.

I let my eye and experience be the judge, and the odd Google search if unsure, but like Mike, throw out all the COAs. Rugby league gets it fair share of fakes, cricket is safer in my experience.

True it is hard to get some of the retired and current players IP signature on cards. It is not an authorised signature card with a certification of his signature it is just an IP. I Have dealt with signed cards for the last 15 yrs and might have sold this one. We know it is not worth $390 it is not good for the hobby that you find out that you $400 dollar card is worth $50. We have all been there.

Can imagine it would be disheartening for a new collector getting scammed with something like this . I’ve got a Hayne L/S I’d take $390 for if anyone is keen , I’d take $70 tbh .

Not the fool who asks , but the fool who pays . Not in this instance however .

I almost bid on it and thought I’d just check the feedback first and noticed the same thing.Wasn’t worth the headache .

Regardless of the sellers' ethics, it tells you where the price of a Mal Legend is currently at - sub $700. ET has been sub $500 for weeks.
