Default How's this for some timing?

Posted By: Joann

There are three M101-5 Babe Ruth's that all listed on ebay today between 12:09 and 14:41. The top one on the list (latest listed) is the real one. Literally the third line down from that is the reprint being sold as a reprint, and two lines down from THAT is a reprint being sold as real.

Kind of like the planets aligning or something. But there all three are, within six line items of one another. Here is where my sympathy for the three bidders on the reprint-being-sold-as-real falls off the cliff. They have both a real one and a reprint being sold as a reprint right there on their screen to compare - no research, nothing - they are all right there on the same page. You might think they would even do a casual comparison.

As to the seller - I may be a sucker, but I kind of think he thinks it's real. Not so much for the 'family crisis' story - that's odd. But good feedback, and lots of scans, larger view option, etc.
