Football Card Grab Bag Worth Over $100 in Book Value | eBay

did you read the entire item description? after reading the 1st 4 lines, you should already have a pretty good idea that his grab bags are a scam....

•Serial numbered to /1 or printing plate, $90-110. Autographed or relic printing plate: $100+
•Cards numbered to /3 will fall between a value for 1/1 or /5.

•Numbered to /5, $35-50. Numbered to /5 Autographed, $70-85 (<----Also Includes cards #'d /6)
•Cards numbered to /7 will fall in a value between /5 and /10.

•Numbered to /10, $20-35. Autographed cards numbered to /10 will have a value of $45-60. (May include cards #'d /9)

True, I saw that but I still am tempted to try one he has 6.00 lots I could test on.

Best thing is take money and flush it, then you won't have more junk cards lying around. All these "grab bag" sellers are cons and I still don't know why eBay hasn't put a stop to it, Oh wait they are collecting listing and FVF.

Anyone on these threads could sell you a $6 "grab bag" and it would be better than what you would receive from the listing.

Okay thanks everyone for the advice, and thanks for saving me from the money toilet.

Well, the lot is customizable, so you could request that your cards actually have book values, and that the book values are within a certain range, or that the cards are all serial numbered jerseys or whatnot.

But, as mentioned previously, anyone here could make you a lot like that, or you easily purchase a pile of cards on COMC for less.
