Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>I hope it isn't to early to start a new pickup thread, but I am a little excited! I was able to win a Red Hindu Duffy this evening to fill in the HOF backs line. $ for $, I think I stole this one! Just got it today and it looks WAY better than expected. Happy purchase!<br>T206 Hugh Duffy Red Hindu PSA 2<br>Take care,<br>Bob<br><br><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1236806767.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1236806784.JPG" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>MikePugeda</b><p>Greg,<br><br>I believe that the postcard you pictured (Yank. Stadium w/ Ruth inset) is believed to be of questionable authenticity. Meaning, it is perhaps a fantasy piece, or more deliberately, intended to lead someone to the conclusion that it dates from the 1930s. Maybe some of the other postcard collectors will chime in.

Posted By: <b>Adam</b><p>Good for you Bob, I was watching that one in hopes someone on the Board would snag it (I am not a backs collector myself, so I was watching it more for curiosity than anything else). I am shocked they did not have "RED Hindu" in the eBay title.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Paul- the Orem history is an extremely useful reference book, as it was assembled chronologically. There is a lot of hard to find information in it. Most of it was taken from old newspapers, and there is virtually no editorial comment on the part of Orem. There is also a very scarce supplement that covers the years 1882-1891. Those can be found year by year with spiral bindings.<br><br>The hardcover book used to be considered quite scarce, but there was a hoard of perhaps a hundred copies found in a warehouse a few years ago, so it is currently easier to find.

Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>Thinking outside the box - a couple of true world changers, in track. A nice and clean Jesse Owens card form the Chamions of 1936 set. And an ULTRA high quality 1956 Cadet Sweets card of Roger Bannister. Where were you in 1954 when he broke the 4 minute mile? The event kind of had the whole world in awe!

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>That is kind of crappy. The person selling that is not any way related to the person I bought the item from and obviously I have not given any permission to profit off of the image of my item. Is there any way I can have them stop selling these or am I just out of luck. I guess imitation is a form of flattery but I dont want everyone in the world thinking this is a common item because they have seen it before when it is one of only 5 or so autographed Donlin items in the entire hobby and very rare.<br><br>What are your thoughts on this, what would you do?<br><br>Rhys

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p><br><br>Rhys-<br><br>I'd at least email the seller. I'd tell them I you won the original postcard that this image was STOLEN from and that you ask they remove this auction. I'd say something like my next move will be to contact Ebay's selling services about it (you could probably come up with a better name). <br><br>I wouldn't think anything legally could really be done though. Just sucks..not like its a copy of a T206 green Cobb that would be hard to even identify as someone's. The one you have does seem to be fairly unique. <br><br>I've also always wondered that about another seller on ebay...he sells posters of card images..some of them are pretty tough, I would think he has to be pulling images from ebay for the purposes of profiting of making posters as well?
