Posted By: <b>BlackSoxFan</b><p>I emailed the guy...kinda worried about this...although it looks real....<br /><br />Here's his response:<br /><br />Hello Ted,<br /><br />I bought a large lot of cards from a card dealer outside of Brighton Michigan that died. They went up for auction through Nash auction house in Howell, Michigan.<br /><br />As for a better picture one is attached, and as for the grading if you are the buyer and want to pay for it I will be happy to do this for you, but as for taking a chance that a card I bought as original and take the chance of getting a reprint back I just can not go through that again. Hope this all helps.<br /><br />Nick<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5227613848&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5227613848&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT</a><br /><br /><br />The reprint part of it is kinda shady if you ask me...<br />alright out of here for a few hours see ya guys later.<br /><br />BlackSoxFan

Posted By: <b>MW</b><p>Too tough to say for certain without a better image but I'm inclined to say reprint/fake.

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>imo,seller and card look legit. BUT that getting a reprint back in grading process screams scam. any seller should stand behind a high value card if proven counterfit. play it safe. bid, if you win it pay w/ credit card.send in to sgc and if it comes back fake dispute it on your charge bill. they (visa/master should cover you against fraud if seller doesn't)

Posted By: <b>Tim Newcomb</b><p>The seller's T206s are clearly reprints, and this single M101-5 stinks like crazy. I'd assume the strip cards and the Allen & Ginter's are bad too-- Avoid!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/vintage-cigarette-baseball-card-Geo-Pierce-Chicago-cubs_W0QQitemZ5227618032QQcategoryZ86839QQrdZ1QQcm dZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/vintage-cigarette-baseball-card-Geo-Pierce-Chicago-cubs_W0QQitemZ5227618032QQcategoryZ86839QQrdZ1QQcm dZViewItem</a>

Posted By: <b>Julie Vognar</b><p>is cearly a fake. I say stay away. It is NOT a good picture, either! (the 514Jax) If he thinks that's a good picture--my first scan was better than that one...<br /><br />I simply CANNOT TELL from the pic whether it's real or not. here's my lesser-conditioned one:<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/jphotos/BSjoW514001.jpg"> <br /><br />Where there's smoke (other fake cards)...stay away.

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>I haven't done a study (and don't plan to), but I bet there's a strong correlation between the angle of the card and the psychedelicness of the background in an auction picture and card's authenticity.<br /><br />In other words, if the angle of an eBay picture makes a card look like an Arizona highway dissapearing into the distant horizon, don't take that trip.
