I was looking at this auction. Sure I know the foils ones are fake, but I find if you sell one fake you sell others. Anyways anyone besides me think those UNL Moxes look funny.

Also the fact that there are close ups on everything but those cards??

Guessing fake, borders look too dark from high up, but mainly as you pointed out, he zooms in on everything but the "real" power. Seems like if they were real he'd do pics of each especially after snapping 30 or so shots.

Oh man...I'm pretty sure I know where he got that Foil Power. As for the "real" power...something looks off. Especially when you compare it to that UNL Tropical just to the left of those Plateaus.

On another note, that is some ridiculously annoying organization. Playset of Plateus split up among different pages. Rootbound Crags next to Timetwisters next to Grove of the Guardian.

I would suspect that it's a legit auction actually. I think a real scammer is not going to put a CE lotus in the lot or call out those foil P9 aren't legal.

Either way, if you're buying something that valuable get on a plane for the hand over so you can view before you buy.

Personally, with over 1,000 positive feedback I'd be inclined to think this is legit. Either way though, I think KIP_NZ is right: plane tickets are cheap if you're spending $20k+ on a collection like this.

This collection of a bunch of fakes and other junk probably isn't even worth $4K.

Might just be me but the edges of the mox jet and emerald seem too white? Also that Bayou seems way too dark maybe almost inked?

if you look at his feedback he seems to sell way more than one of those. Its all essentially "fake" feedback. Its essentially feedback trading to generate artificially high numbers so you can run auctions such as this w/ a good pay day. Beyond that, once you get enough feedback completed, paypal starts to trust you and instant gives you your money so you can withdraw it right away instead of having to sit on it for a month in case there is an issue.

I dunno... if he delivers the virtual goods then what is the problem? It looks like he's only sold 51 or w/e from that auction. The dude has like 1000+ feedback.

Just because you don't like the product doesn't mean he's instantly a scammer.

I would not buy that collection without seeing it in person though... that's just because it is a hell of a lot of money!
