Most probably a scam since I think I've seen this picture in the past. Also, it's written sealed booster box and it clearly isn't sealed in the picture. Finally, 17k is too good to be true and the seller only has 5 feedbacks. I wouldn't have taken the chance to buy this.
Unlimited collector! Please pm me if you have any BGS 9.5 or very good-looking ungraded cards to trade or sell!

... You can easily sell each pack for $2k. My loss is your gain.
If you could easily sell each pack for $2k then why wouldn't you want to make $72k instead of $17k?

And the pictures do look familiar, I saw it last night and didn't even bother to click on the auction.

I have to admit the first time I saw it I got all excited until I saw the seller's feedback (also low) and realised that is was most likely a rip off of some sort.

Not saying that this is definitely a scam but I wouldn't be touching it.

Seems pretty fishy, but so did the last one I saw sell on ebay. That one sold for $16k about 5 years ago (?) and ended up not being a scam.

Hi Tim

I've tried to find the one, you talk about from previous Ebay auctions back to 2011, I could only find 5 different scams (4 from one seller in Florida May/June 2011), the other one September 2011:

It's the same picture that was used for all the fishy auctions on ebay since the last few years....

If this particular image shows up you can easily tell someone wants to trick you.
