My name is Nick. I’m Pokémon Revolution on EBay. I haven’t posted anything public here yet, just have been a member and like to read up on everything that people post. I have information that could potentially help other members out from dealing with a huge scammer on eBay. There is a seller named “Gordobritt”. He mostly sells sealed booster packs from the WOTC era. He sells legitimate booster packs on eBay and receives plenty positive feedback regarding those purchases. He builds up a nice history of positive reviews so that he can scam people. Here is the problem. He sells 100% fake 1st edition base sealed booster boxes. He fills and places real 1st edition base wrappers with Spanish cards on the top layer. Underneath that is either fake or completely worthless cards. He then reseals the boxes. If someone messages him he will say that he will only do local pickup cash only. I unknowingly fell for his scam and lost my money on his fake box. It was a huge mistake in my end. The issue is that it did not stop with me…he is still scamming and going strong. If you look him up on eBay you will see that he is still listing and selling them to people stealing thousands of dollars. I have saved two other people on separate occasions from purchasing the boxes from him. Others have not been so lucky. This goes far beyond me and affects the entire community as a whole. I really want to make sure no one else is scammed like I was. My main goal is to help others avoid this scammer.
Below is a link to his latest box for sale. I am also very confident he uses multiple accounts as many of his listings share the exact same photos on other accounts. My advice…stay very far away from this guy.Gordobritt Fake First Edition Base Box
* Uses a fake phone number
Mainly the point of this entire thread is to be extremely careful when looking to purchase a 1st Edition Base Box. Even if the seller has great feedback it does not mean that you will be getting the real thing. Yes, there were other things I could have done to avoid this scam looking back now. Check the box weight and always make sure you are purchasing from someone highly reputable like collectors cache, da card world, or someone very knowledgeable and trustworthy. I would also recommend using ebay or at the very least paypal invoice so that if it is fake you will at least have a chance of getting your money back.
If anyone else has experienced this or knows someone that has had a similar scam done to them please feel free to contact me.
Hope your able to get your money back, such a shame he has that 1st edition neo destiny box with wizard logos on its wrapper.
Hey pokemon revolution !
I m actually dealing with this guy and talked about your story,
he replied me : " Yeah I’ve seen that before. He made me look bad and people I’ve never dealt with before ganged up on me and took me for my money"
I need to say that i just made a deal with this guy for more 2000usd of loose pack ( gym , team rockt , jungle etc etc ) and the deal was perfect.
Who is the liar in the story, i’ m lost ?

The post was simply a warning to other potential victims. Reread my original post, I stated that his loose packs and whatever else he has been selling has all probably been legit, besides the 1st ed base boxes. I have everything documented, video opening the box, photos, messages back and forth, ect. He is currently in the process of paying me back to avoid court. I don’t want to get into any drama about this but that was my experience. If your feeling confident enough to purchase one from him let us know how it goes. There are countless examples of people selling fraudulent 1st ed base boxes, ask around.
If a guy robbed a bank do you think he would admit it if you asked?

If he has already won the court case and lived in the United States he’d probably sell his story to a movie producer.
Thanks for your reply and for your thread.
You saved me to buy a fake box.
