I sincerely wish you the best and hope that everything works out for you. I'd like to offer one piece of advice.
I viewed your listing, and it's good to have your pictures. However, it almost looks like the back of the card was perfectly scanned in as opposed to photographed like the front. It may help to either a) scan the front or b) photograph the back so that there is consistency in the photos for the listing.
Again, I wish you nothing but the best and I truly hope that this auction listing brings you some much needed income.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.

Is this guy for real? I don't think he understands the audience he is trying scam. It's funny and sad at the same time. Unfortunately this is an all too real part of a great hobby. I've been a member of this site for 5 years and I'm very grateful that the majority, if not all, the members are real and honest people. Thanks to all you real members for not being this guy.

Nope, I'm out. I called him out on the fake story before, because that was obvious, and unacceptable. I know nothing of his personal life, and wish him the best if he's going through hardships.

Is this the same card that was such a 'find' that travis and his 'bro' were going to go halfsies on? Trying to deceive will get you no where. I think you've stumbled on the wrong site and wrong forum to try to find a buyer for this particular card. Take the card to your nearest pawn or card shop if you are hard up for money. It will be a faster reward for you and your family.
I'm sorry about your situation, but please forgive me if I'm not buying it.
Am I the only one that sees the 'Y' in Bryant differently in the photos? There is a gap in the loop below the bat and on the hand/arm in the clear photo, but not in the fuzzy photos. I don't believe the photos are all of the same card. I'm also curious why no photo of the reverse as jasongerman mentioned above.

From past experience, differing photos/scans of the front and back like that are usually indications that the photos were lifted from other listings (or elsewhere around the web) and the lister does not actually own the card. I feel badly for whoever buys this, as I'm afraid they'll be disappointed when they never receive the merchandise (potentially).
After the blatant lies already laid out there, it's difficult to believe any other stories (sob or otherwise) that are written out by this account.
I really don't see much difference between this guy and the Jordan Jersey Card guy.

Wow, I'm glad somebody else called him out on it because after ranting last night I didn't want to seem like a heartless jerk. Like seriously dude, have you ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?
Look, if you are having time coming up with cash, I wish you all the luck in the world. I like to assume the best in people, even if it is highly suspicious. So, assuming you are in financial and familial turmoil, you have to understand that your most recent post comes off as extremely desperate, like asking the homecoming queen out because you are sick with x and your mom is in the hospital. We, simply from a buyers standpoint, want to know about the card, not about your true or not personal life. If you want to add that as a little sentence, just as one other tiny reason to consider buying the card like, "Thanks for your consideration. This would really help me out!" then fine. But if you are looking for pity after lying to us, you'll be hard pressed to find any, whether what you say is true or not. So, allow me to put on my scepticles. (Any Gravity Falls fans? Yes? No?)
Again, if you are going through difficulties I hear ya man, life is tough. But, I don't blame people for not believing you because everything about this and your eBay post seems sketchy to me. One last thing, I did some more digging and I found this:

Hmm? Traviskoz = Forevamoney? One stopped accessing our site on March 31st, and the other set up his ID on March 26th. Same type of grammatical mistakes and sob stories.

Different locations for ebay. (First one I think was GA and this one is NM, IIRC.) Went to ebay to look up the first one, and surprise, surprise, no longer a registered user. Maybe you are correct!
