Cancer Alert - Jared Mast (autographs-for-sale & afspa_002)

General
1

**TLDR:

  • UPDATE 1: This guy is a consignment director at Iconic Auctions & apparently is the one who sold the three PSA 10 1st edition trios (the one that rapper Logic bought).

  • UPDATE 2: It seems he has claimed more than 1 victim. BE CAREFUL!

  • If you see a PSA 10 Hidden Fates Mewtwo GX card with serial 45722629, it’s stolen.

  • Jared Mast (eBay accounts autographs-for-sale & afspa_002) bought my item, opened & claim and won (but actually received the card), then listed on his main account few months after. I’d suggest blacklisting both autographs-for-sale & afspa_002 on eBay.**
    1) Sold in May to his side account, afspa_002. Cert is shown here (45722629).

2) PayPal details shows Jared Mast as my buyer (screenshot redacted due to staff request).
Here we see he owns Autographs-For-Sale & was also a consignment director at Iconic Auctions.

3) Come October & this is what I found.
Exact serial 45722629. Seller is autographs-for-sale. Item location Cave Creek Arizona… checks out with PayPal address.
*UPDATE: Someone purchased it, oh boy…*

4) Looking into autographs-for-sale.com/ we see this address.
Both email + address matches afspa_002 PayPal details (screenshot redacted due to request from staff).

**IN SUMMARY:

  • So basically Jared Mast uses afspa_002 to buy cards → opens a case, gets a free card → lists on autographs-for-sale months after → gets free money.

  • He opened a claim AFTER item was delivered, so he couldn’t have received the card after the claim. He also did not reply to any of my messages.

  • I just want to warn everyone that this guy with 4000+ feedback, lacks of any sort of integrity & would rather tarnish his reputation for a $170 USD card.**

If you have proof of delivery, how did they win a claim against you saying that the item was never delivered? If you really care and have the time, I would contact eBay about it. Heck, you could probably even file a police report- not that they would do anything about it.

I did try, eBay told me seller protection expired & asked me to issue an invoice to the buyer. So yeah, it sucks. Don’t know what I can do about that.

It unfortunately took me a month to obtain the proof of delivery from the courier.

I know some members here on E4 has transacted with autographs-for-sale.

I just want to highlight that he may not be as legit as it seems. Just be cautious of this guy.

This sucks, sorry it happened to you. Since you have all of the necessary information, just going to leave this here in case it is of interest to you:

Even if you decide not to go through with it, the threat of potentially having to face you in court could be enough to get your money back from him.

I’m not a lawyer, but your story + photo + written evidence, including PSA cert #, is hard to argue against…

Agree w @seafoamarticuno above. Might not be worth your time but w your evidence that’s an almost guaranteed win as long as u have pics of the eBay listing where u sold the card w Cert number showing.

@seafoamarticuno, @lovelyfawn,

Thanks for the advise. Fortunately it’s not a huge sum so I’ll probably just take the loss. At most I’ll get in touch with another eBay rep & see how it goes. Anyways, if he didn’t do a pro gamer move & listed it on eBay I would have given him the benefit of the doubt & considered it undelivered lol.

My intention was just to expose & alert the members here about this guy, so all’s good.

Ridicolous what “reputable” people do for a few bucks. Thanks for the heads up, and onto my banlist.

Feels like every time I google the username (or name) of someone who is being complained about on sour grapes, there are previous links or history about them that would give you a bad impression: live.autographmagazine.com/forum/topics/iconic-auction-payment-problem?id=3524372%3ATopic%3A811799&page=1#comments

I honestly think it might start being a requirement now to google the name, address or username before selling an item to a buyer :confused:

I ran a 15$ background check on a 3k card last month. I’m a psycho, whatever.

I just saw this today and it’s too late to detail it as I am about to pass out. But he pulled something on me on eBay as well .

We need to get this knob off eBay.

I’ll share what I have this weekend

Omg…

Guys if you haven’t blocked this guy I’d suggest you take the effort to block him now, before he claims another victim.

@chopstix23,
Anyways I’d suggest you quickly get courier confirmation.

eBay apparently has 1 month after case to deliver any found evidence. Anything after that and your chances get slimmer…

Good luck with this and I hope it resolves :confused:

Woke up to see this and could not believe it.

I have a story about this seller too.

  1. so we have all the info- I have had 10 transactions with this seller- about half on eBay and half off. 9 of them went fine- 1 did not. That one- happened to be a red cheek psa 10 pikachu that I bought on eBay for 2400. He claimed he mailed it with 20 other items- and that the post office comes and picks it up for him. The day before- I bought a lass 1st edition psa 10 for about the same price. On eBay- he uploaded the same tracking number for both lass and pikachu. The box arrived- lass was in it- but no pikachu.

I messaged him and he updated the tracking number for the pikachu- but the tracking he uploaded said “label created and post office waiting for package”-
Seemed odd- but I know this happens. Seller explained that he had 20 packages picked up by the usps and 4 of them were not “scanned”.

This was July.

Fast forward- and the tracking still says the same thing.
At the 30 day mark- I made a claim with eBay- and the seller was not exactly helpful-but since he did upload the new tracking, I won the case and got a refund. I would say no harm no foul- but we all know what the red cheeks is worth now and it’s not 2400… I check for the slab every day- and he knows that I do… so it hasn’t come back up on eBay yet.

  1. here is the best addition to this thread- this seller is the consignment manager for iconic auctions and it was his Charizard that sold to logic. The big three in the auction were all his cards.

Amazing stuff. And if I ever figure out how to post a picture, I will post the rede cheeks slab so folks can keep an eye out for it.

Lol I face palmed reading this. What a joke this guy is…

He has cards of that magnitude, yet still wants to scam people of their cards.

I’m in disbelief. Haha.

I wonder if you can email this thread to the CEO or someone higher up in the company. I doubt they would care, but might give him pause to continue scamming.

No harm to give it a shot… but this thread is locked to the public so it can’t really be shared.

I found the LinkedIn of the President of Iconic Auctions though, goes by the name of Jeff Woolf.
