Loved this Craigslist ad... How come I never find stuff like this at estate sales?

https://collegestation.craigslist.org/clt/d/wellborn-rare-baseball-cards/6978776813.html

"I found theses in a lot of baseball cards purchased at an estate sale. I’m not sure if they are real or not but after asking a few antique collector friends of mine they seem to think they might be. BUT since they are not “authenticated” I’m just happy to put some extra bill paying money in my pocket. The cards are Ruth, Wagner, and Cobb. I seem to think there is a good chance they are real because I’m not aware that the Sweet Caporal cards were ever reprinted. All fonts, colors, card size and text match authenticated Ruth cards on eBay. Asking $400 OR BEST OFFER- I’m open to any offers because I’m not sure what I have."

Not sure about Ruth and Cobb, but the Wagner is the real deal. I would recommend offering $173 for the lot.

Maybe I should meet him in person and pay him with Monopoly money "because US currency has never been counterfeited."
