Posted By: <b>Adam J. Baxter</b><p><BR>Dad,<BR> You know that Cracker Jack Ty Cobb that you had? You know, the one you kept safe in a glass picture frame up in the attic. Well, now that your taking a dirt nap, Instead of having it graded for a few bucks and possibly coming into some real money (assuming it is real anyway) or consulting someone knowledgeable or even looking into a hobby guide or other publication. I'm going to sell it on ebay for what I think is a fair price. I'm probably going to get ripped off, too. I mean why bother trying to look up the value of this card or do any research on it? That would require time and effort and I want to cash in now. Sorry, Dad.<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31719&item=2751601650" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31719&item=2751601650</a><BR><BR>Not that I collect CJ's, but if I did, Can a legit one even be found on ebay anymore?<BR><BR>Because geez, if I even thought this was real (which I don't think it is) and it was mine and I didn't know much about cards, I 'd have it graded or at least looked at to be sure, because damn if it was....<img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>Adam J. Baxter</b><p>This seller also has what appears to be a Huff cut-out for sale as well. Maybe I was just assuming that this seller is unknowledgable.

Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>Perhaps he's selling the card so he can afford a scanner with a bed larger than a 1915 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb .... The invocation of one's dead dad as a marketing ploy is not endearing.
