is this a joke???

[gioperation]

here is the auction and this must be a 1/1 cause I don't have it and beckett doesn't list this card. LOL

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...5&category=648

I am about to email this guy and see what he says..

[j.e.lew]

That guy had the Card stamped 1/1 to get more money out of it because he could'nt get it graded because of the centering.

You'll always see cards that say 1/1 but are b.s. Alot of times it's because of the condition out of the pack and the owner is pissed off he wont get a 9,9.5 or 10 out of grading, They then have these b.s. companies or there friends make up those foil stamp machines to say whatever they want and pull this crap.( you can by those foil stamp machine for pretty cheap at art and craft store)

THE ONLY TRUE ONE OF ONE COMES FROM THE MAJOR CARD COMPANIES, BE IT FROM DISTRIBUTION OR AT THE NATIONAL SHOWS!!

Dont be fooled by anyone offering a1/1 unless it from the Card manufacturer and was a 1/1 when it went in the pack, and was a 1/1 when it came out.

He probably did win it at another auction, Paid a ****load for it and found out it was crap and is trying to dump it on some other idiot.

Terrible centering, and the bottom left corner is soft. I see this all the time and don't like how some people try to make a quick buck doing this.

hahahaha...I always laugh when I see these 1/1 cards on Ebay.

PT Barnum is right: there's a sucker born every minute.

lololol

[stkmtimo]

I read someone's post on a card site once saying: "Wow! Look at this 1/1". Then someone pointed out to him that the guy was selling 453 other "1/1s" that looked exactly the same. LOL.

hey pod!!!!

have you read any of PT Barnum books, if so which was the best I have been thinking about picking up one or two, I am reading donald trump's "the art of a deal" now I am in the 3 chpt and it is pretty interesting, this is my second time reading it, as I read it like 7 or 8 years ago. But this time it is like I never read it as I don't really remember any of the stuff so far.

[stkmtimo]

Haven't read any P.T. Barnum, but read Michael LeBoeuf, his books are the best ever. If you ever want a good book on customer service and management, his books are a one stop shop.

I always find that hilarious.

In the description the person writes RARE 1/1 ONE OF A KIND.

Then you look at all of his auctions and he has about 70 of them listed.

That alone should warn people that these are worthless cards.
