Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>That's a hoot. They are being sold as "unauthentcated(not real)" with a $99.99 opening bid. Judging by the description, I'd say these con artists are aware of eBay's new rules regarding the sale of fakes.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>Elliot, I sent the seller a email expressing my displeasure. As eBay now has a rule saying sellers can't disclaim knowledge of or responsibility for the auathenticity, it is my hope that eBay will will nip this auction in the bud.<BR>

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>As of 4:07 p.m. PST, when I checked out the item, ebay registered it as an invalid item. I guess Leon has serious juice at ebay; can you get me comped in Vegas too?

Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>Here's the guy's other auction.<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=204&item=2720730077" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=204&item=2720730077</a><BR><BR>A Peck & Snyder cdv, Babe Ruth/Gary Cooper Auto'd photo, Abe Lincoln CDV, Ty Cobb snapshot & more!<BR><BR>I'm sorry, but I don't feel feel bad for the bidders who are had on this lot. The seller says, "They could have come from K-Marts yesterday,but I don;t think so" .... The guy is offering a Babe Ruth (1895-1948)autographed photo, yet says it's possible it came from K-Mart yesterday? I'm sorry, but I would require a bit better provenance and assurance than that before I bid.<BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>I'm cofindent I'm not going out on a limb when I say, for the above mentioned auction lot, the provenance is: the seller's home computer printer within the last month. I'm also certain (am being totally serious) that he included the 'K-Mart' remark as a technicality, so that, as an out, he can say, "I didn't lie. I printed them in my basement. The nearest K-Mart is half a mile away."
