Thought this was pretty funny. Does anyone know who made these and for what purpose? I wouldn't think someone would use red ink on Piedmont and Old Mill backs if they were trying to make believable fakes.

He says it's not a T206, but rather a red-ink Old Mill. And he has sold a couple other lots.

It's somewhat saddening to see that someone is buying those cards (and that even more people are bidding too).

His first round of auctions a few weeks ago were shilled by a zero-feedback member. How do I know? The buyer bid 100% on this seller and purchased a fake T206, an old Bible, and a doll.

also in the first round he had the same card lised in 3 diffrent auctions at one time. Good thing GRAMPS had dupes of all his HOFer that look remarkable alike.:eek:

I must confess that I bought a lot from this seller. Of course it included 2000+
Non sports cards that look legit. Probably all from british sets, but the per card price was pretty low. We'll see once it arrives.....

I don't mean to sound heartless because I really hate to see anybody get taken advantage of, but how much compassion and sympathy are we supposed to feel for buyers this dumb (or uneducated or whatever word you want to use)?

Come on, $150 for an obvious reprint? If I were going to spend that much money on something that I didn't know much about, I think I would do a little homework first. The sad thing is that the buyer has over 400+ feedback.
