I know for many of you this is "old hat" but for me, this is a bloody big deal! My first ever T206 card and it's one of my favorite players in baseball History, RUBE WADDELL!!!
condition isn't great, but considering the price I paid ($35) I think it was a steal!

Congrats, Nick! That's a good price for a T206 HOFer that's still in one piece!

hahaha! I'm trying to stay off that needle if I can. Been trying to get as nice and as old a card for as many HOF'ers as I can and collecting Braves cards as well. Luckily, my lack of excessive funds should help me stay away from T206 addiction.
I must admit tho, I have been perusing ebay lately looking for more deals on lower condition T206 Boston Rustlers cards..... dammit :-p

There was a recent post about how hard it is to find graded Magee portraits on ebay. Either way, congrats on the Waddell! That's one on the top of my list, fantastic pickup :)

Thanx! hey folks, I was looking around today on ebay and came across this auction : http://www.ebay.com/itm/222163934122?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
now he lists it as a reprint with this cryptic language that hints it might be real. Now, as a total noob on these things (aside from lusting for them from afar as a younger guy) I pulled up a legit PSA 3 auction of the same card and couldn't spot the difference.
so, my question is, how do you sift through the reprints to find the real thing? When I was younger all reprints had "reprint" or "RP" on them somewhere, these look legit, especially to a novice.

Ugh, very fake, don't touch it. If someone isn't willing to commit firmly to authenticity it is never worth the gamble ESPECIALLY as a novice buyer.

hahaha I'll bet!
I'm currently watching a couple of other auctions by this guy for old (what became the Braves) Boston T206 cards. let's just say he said up front he knows nothing about cards and is trying to sell em for wtvr he can get)
That Johnson is clearly fake. That seller is referenced in another thread about fakes.
