Posted By: <b>brian</b><p>sorry steve, i don't give links to live auctions after watching other members of the forum get chastised for it. the difference between a link provided to a "possible scam" versus someone asking an innocent question about an auction is a bit blurred and too fine a line in my opinion.<br />i can understand why a member's auction shouldn't be blatantly advertised, but if someone is asking innocent questions about an auction and gets roasted for it, then there exists a problem in policy that needs to be modified or set in stone.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Then how can someone answer your question without being able to see the card? It sounds fake, but how can we be sure?

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>It's not real...so I don't see any reason not to post a link. If posting this link makes anyone here buy the card than they need to learn a bit more about them to begin with. But I don't know if the guy is being deceptive...all he really says is 1910 tobacco card. It should say reprint, sure. But it is particuarly a bad example...wouldn't fool anybody.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/EDDIE-PLANK-1910-TOBACCO-CARD_W0QQitemZ300109387948QQihZ020QQcategoryZ86841 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/EDDIE-PLANK-1910-TOBACCO-CARD_W0QQitemZ300109387948QQihZ020QQcategoryZ86841 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a>

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>It is deceptive because he should use the word "reprint." He doesn't even have one word of text.<br /><br />And don't you just love a major rarity that's been up for three days and doesn't even have the opening bid of $10?

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>I would also think a Plank "missing letters" version would have to be up there with the Cobb/Cobb back. I just set my snipe...so we'll see how it shakes out.

Posted By: <b>Bruce Babcock</b><p>How many red flags can you spot in this listing? How much time do you have?

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>Our objection to posting an open ebay listing is when the item is deemed genuine and appears in an incorrect category. For example a nice vintage photgraph of Cy Young in "Beenie Babies".<br /><br />Another objection we have is posting a card in which the poster has a financial interest or is doing so on behalf of the seller.<br /><br />The Plank is an obvious fake. It appears in the proper category if it were real. It's not going to fool anyone who frequents this Board. If it helps a newbie then by all means post it.

Posted By: <b>brian</b><p>i wasn't asking a question. only saying i wasn't sure whether the seller was feigning ignorance or trying to be deceptive. i've seen strangers appear in this forum for the first time with a link to an auction in their post and asking about the legitimacy of a card that was clearly legitimate, even to a child collector. if that isn't blatant advertising, i don't know what is.<br /><br />but when a regular poster asks a more difficult question about a card and has a link in their post, then gets roasted alive for posting a link, it probably has more to do with some jerk who is angry because he is currently bidding on the card and doesn't want it exposed to members of the forum who might compete with them in the bidding.<br /><br />steve, what if the item is deemed genuine and appears in the correct category? and how do you determine whether the poster has a financial interest or is doing so on behalf of the seller unless he clearly states it in his post or it become crystal clear through investigation?<br /> <br /> <br />

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>I think any "legit" auction with a real card shouldn't be posted on the board until the auction is over...period. Now if somebody has a "technical" question about a legit card, there are a few members here who have no problem answering private emails about legit auctions...otherwise, best to leave those alone until after the auction ends.

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>If it deemed genuine and correctly catagorized it doesn't belong on here until after the auction closes period. That way there will no question that someone may be promoting an item in which they have a potential financial interest.<br /><br />Now with all of that said I do remember a member looking for information posing a generic question about an item. It was not disclosed that it was on ebay so it just appeared to be a general question. As it turned out it was on ebay in an obscure place but the question gave enough info that a search could find it. The moral of this story is that someone other than the poster was able to snag the item. Now as it turns out the poster didn't really want the item and wasn't hurt by his action but he could have been.<br /><br />Thanks again Dave! <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />
