WARNING OF STOLEN LEBRON JAMES 2003-04 CHROME CARD
Hello Fellow Card Collectors,
I'd like to warn potential buyers of a 'stolen' basketball card.
Earlier this year I sent a 2003-04 Topps Chrome Lebron James rookie card # 111, BGS 9.5 (2 x 10 incl centering & 2 x 9.5 subs) to a respected US auction house.
The card sold, payment was made to the auction house who then shipped the card to the highest bidder.
Unfortunately the bidder used a stolen credit card to pay for it.
The BGS Serial Number is 0010501751.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY OR BID ON IT.
Contact me or law enforcement if you see it for sale.
Thank you.

A response that Goldin Auctions provided over on BO to this same post that was made over there.
I wanted to provide an update to the thread. We are disappointed a consignor who was paid in full for this card would not only post about, but spread misinformation about someone using a stolen credit card (which is not the case).
I want to confirm that the LeBron Card in question was purchased from Goldin. After the purchase, the buyer claimed the card was not authentic and the issue was investigated on our end thoroughly and this was proven to be a false claim. The purchaser issued a chargeback but refused to supply any information as to why nor return the card to us in a clear attempt to defraud and steal the item. We have reported the card stolen to Beckett to flag the cert number and we have paid out the seller in full and our handling the purchaser with our attorneys and police in the areas. We take this situation serious and our sellers will always be taken care of, which is the reason to sell at an auction house that has a good reputation and stands behinds its consignors. We are handling the issue with the purchaser and the authorities directly. This issue has zero to do with the OP who as stated was paid on full for his card.
