Default Finally got one of my grails.....

Just won this auction last night for a 2001 BC Pujols auto. I've wanted one of these forever and always get outbid.

2001 Bowman Chrome Albert Pujols Refractor Auto RC 384/500

But then I get this message from kcfutures9. It ran on a 7 day auction, there is no way they didn't know it was running. I'm sure they just didn't get the price they wanted. Complete piece of garbage. AND THIS IS AFTER I PAID!

"so sorry card was relisted automatically after not paid last time. It was sent to PSA to be graded. The listing was supposed to be ended. Will offer $150 store credit as well"

That is heartbreaking.

I was shocked when saw the price (and hopeful for my future prospects of getting one), but the story is suspect. There’s no way the seller didn’t receive multiple inquiries about its condition, a willingness sell at a BIN, etc.

Eliteco3? Samething happened to me several months ago with a card I was chasing. Won an auction very cheap for the item at the time. He cancelled stating some reason and sent me a non refactor of the card instead. Haven't checked his store since but I assume he runs alot of auctions so it's possible he forgot about it. Sorry It happened

that sucks. I've only ever seen 1 in person but the guy who had it wasn't willing to trade or sell it.

What a bummer. One more seller I’ll never buy from.

The card has been listed by multiple parties. One of the sellers listed as “Possibly Trimmed” as it was apparently sent in for grading before. Then if you also look closely at the surface, there’s a couple gashes on it close by the signature. I was watching this card closely and considered bidding, but too many red flags.

In my opinion they did you a favor. Sure, even if trimmed $5K could still be worth it, but just too many issues with the card IMO

That’s trash, sorry OP. Absolutely no way they did not know it was running.

Also It has been assumed and linked to someone by the name James Harden out of ohio that has scammed many people for thousands of dollars. Not saying that is him, just that there have been many people that think that is him. you lucked out on not getting this grail.
