Posted By: <b>steve f</b><p>DOn'tknow what to think about this move. It had to be seen by hundreds just last week... Perhaps I've jumped the gun; <br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8768958049&indexURL=1&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8768958049&indexURL=1&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting</a><br /><br />and then there was: <br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=86841&item=8762603178" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=86841&item=8762603178</a><br /><br />Hope noone's watching this one...

Posted By: <b>Jim Thierfelder</b><p>I noticed that same auction earlier today. It was obviously fake the first time I saw it auctioned and looks even less real with the better scans provided by the new seller. There are several things that give it away, even to a novice like me. The wide margins, no folds between panels, paper loss where it should say "A DOVER REPRINT", and the printing flaw on the two line border above the o in Cobb in "Ty Cobb Steals Third" is the same one as appears in a common authorized reprint.<br /><br />I also find it interesting that neither party left any feedback and that the new seller is relisting this card so quickly. He couldn't have had it for more than a couple days. Also, the new seller does appear to deal pretty regularly in legitmate semi-vintage material. He has to know he bought a reprint, why would he risk his apparently good reputation?
