Be on the lookout for an eBay scammer selling 1952 Topps Christmas Rack Packs. The seller's username is i-sold-it.wa and he recently got $666.99 for the rack pack, with 18 bids. He's got all of typical "i'm running a scam" type things like user id's kept private, but the real proof that this is not legit is his buying history. He's recently purchased 15 1952 Topps singles in mid-grade, raw conditions with prices ranging from $5.50 to $31. He also teases in the title and description that there could be a Mickey Mantle or Willie Mays in there. My guess is he's buying these singles and re-sealing the rack pack to scam people. I looked to see if it was being talked about on any of the forums I frequent and sure enough: PSA message board thread.

And now he's got 25 more auctions running that end in four days so plenty more people will get ripped off before he's done?

While looking at that thread on the forums, I also found this thread about another scam running. This one deals with 1979-80 Topps Hockey wax packs. The scammer has purchased a roll of 60 wrappers from bbcexchange and plenty more wrappers on eBay and is now selling them as unopened packs. The thread raises a great question: When are people just going to give up buying unopened material that aren't graded?
