Ebay Removed My Derek Jeter 2001 Fleer Monumental Moments Autograph Card Listing Policy

Well, it looks like Ebay is now attacking those who are exposing forgeries listed on their website.

Obviously Ebay does not like the fact that I am exposing the forgeries that are listed by their scam sellers.

First, photos of my Derek Jeter "2001 Fleer Monumental Moments" autograph card numbered "85/95."

This is a Fleer issued Derek Jeter autograph card.

Below is the email I received:

After reviewing your eBay account, it appears that you have violated eBay's Trademark Violation - Unauthorized Item policy. As a result, we've taken the following action on your account:

Well?

I know you're reading this.........

Well?

My favorite quote is by Winston Churchill:

"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”

A lot of people hate you, Chris. I can't think of a better compliment.

Thank you..from all of us on the white hat side.

Comment by CJCollector on September 21, 2013 at 3:47pm: Thank you very much, Steve.

The same can be said about you, too.

Many of us here are hated. It's because we care.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with caring and having a passion to do the right thing no matter the consequences.

And for the vindictive person that removed my auction; this is not done by a long-shot.

Comment by Michael Frost on September 21, 2013 at 4:15pm: I have also sent an e-mail. This Derek Jeter "2001 Fleer Monumental Moments" autograph card numbered "85/95." is without question 100% Authentic.

Comment by terrier8HOF on September 21, 2013 at 4:34pm: Christopher, as you already know, what goes around comes around.

Comment by CJCollector on September 21, 2013 at 6:14pm: Absolutely, Terrier.

Comment by CJCollector on September 21, 2013 at 6:15pm: This wasn't a case of the autograph being authentic or not; it was done vindictively.

And like my friend Terrier wrote "What goes around, comes around."

Comment by Jason D on September 21, 2013 at 10:14pm: There is NO Doubt that card is authentic and anyone that knows about cards and Derek Jeter signatures would agree. Is it possible this was pulled because It's not an Upper Deck card and a Fleer card for which Jeter used to sign for? It's obvious someone had this pulled but I'm wondering if that is why?

I'm sure if you showed ebay a Beckett Price Guide that card would show up as proof that in fact this card is authentic.

This is just very strange all the way around on eBays part.

eBay pulls this beautiful card down but all of the Horrible Mariano Rivera and LeBron James signatures that Steve Sipe has authenticated stay up.

Conspiracy theory.

Comment by CJCollector on September 22, 2013 at 5:18am: No conspiracy here. It was deliberately done to send me a message.

Comment by Michael Frost on September 22, 2013 at 5:52am: As you would know, ebay has a record of who sent in the report and when it was sent. They should remove and suspend that person from ebay permanently. With all the crap going on in the autograph hobby right now,there is no room for this type of vindictive actions under any circumstances.
