Mayos on Ebay
 
Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>Has anyone looked at the lots that were just listed. Apparently they were glued to a scrapbook but the backs don't look right to me (aren't they black?).<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Judge Dred (Fred)</b><p>The backs of Mayos are supposed to be brlack unless someone peeled the back off. It appears that someone peeled the backs of these off and put block print on the back indicating that these are Mayos - or maybe they're just fake.

Posted By: <b>John</b><p>The images are grainy (originals did not utilize that type of printing process) and the backs should be black.

Posted By: <b>Don J</b><p>They're all fakes. As was stated earlier, Mayo's have solid black backs and certainly don't say "Mayo" on the back. Biggest problem with Mayo's is in retouching with a black pen. Best seen under a mini-black light if you have one.

Posted By: <b>David Smith</b><p>I have already E-mailed the seller about his "Mayo's" and "T206's" and told him that I can't wait to see the fake Cracker Jacks he is going to list next week.

Posted By: <b>David Smith</b><p>I just checked and the cards have been taken down because of "an error in the listing".

Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>Before we go lynching the seller: I emailed him this afternoon and he indicated he would take the listings down. It could have been a scam, but it also could have been someone who had no idea. All I know is that when I told him they were fake, he immediately emailed back thanking me for the info - not your usual "you dont know s#*@" response that a scammer normally sends.

Posted By: <b>David Smith</b><p>The way the cards were listed, it seemed like a person who didn't know the cards were fake instead of the rip-off scam artists; i.e. "according to E-bay rules" or some other junk language.
