Louisville colonels photo ebay?
This photo is advertised as ca. 1899 louisville colonels. I don't see the people I should. Any thoughts?

1902 I believe. Patsy Flaherty and John Ganzel are present. But typically people don't like an auction outed right before it closes.

My mistake, I was just concerned about what I thought was an improper id in terms of date. My apologies. Won't happen again.

Rest easy Jason -- you are absolutely in the right on this one. It has long been the very unofficial policy on this board that auctions are not outed -- I think it's even more of a no-no on the card side of the board.

I don't really need anyone to defend me. I answered the thread and even gave the information (right information, BTW) to the OP before the auction closed.
If I know the information in a listing is not accurate, it gives me an advantage in the sale. Putting the correct information out on a public forum puts more people on an equal footing and lessens my advantage. Is that a good enough reason? |

He's a well known seller so likely everyone saw it already, so I'm sure my point is moot and everyone can go back to doing exactly what they want to do which is what they do anyway. YOLO as the kids say. |

I would think that for a large AH, there should not be an issue. For ex the recent bogus JJ photo thread: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=194010 |
When I created the thread I was only thinking about the photo in question being over-sold in terms of description because of the fact that an 1899 colonels photo is a hell of a different animal than a 1902. Since I couldn't ID the photo I wasn't even sure who it actually was, so I didn't perceive my self as costing anyone money, more I was thinking the opposite. What I was not considering was the collateral issue with the sellers other auctions and for that Jaybird I do apologize. Yes I will absolutely wait until the end of auctions to post similar questions. I wasn't even interested in bidding on any of his auctions, just kind of stuck on trying to ID that photo which led me to not think of unintended consequences.

Again, no big deal. But since there was a question of my motivation, I figured I would explain. |
Not that I necessarily need to reiterate what is well known but there are no rules against outing any ongoing auctions on this board. I don't personally like it done but there just can't be a rule against. We have debated this issue a lot and that is where the ball has bounced.
