Here is the eBay item number: 150143032643.

For the new people to the board or new collectors of vintage cards, read the auction description and all the information the seller has about the card, especially the info about value. Then ask yourself WHY he hasn't had the card graded??

Don't you think even on the off hand chance the card is real the seller could come up with the cash to get the card graded?? I mean, he knows about the grading companies? Anyway, here is what I E mailed him. I can't wait to see the response (if any).


"Let me get this straight. You KNOW the best condition T206 Honus Wagner recently sold for over $2.3 million dollars. You also know there are about 60 in existence and even the POOR condition ones are worth a lot of money yet you DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET YOUR CARD GRADED??

I KNOW the reason you haven't got your card graded is because it is a reprint and not worth the listing fees you paid eBay to have this auction.

Kindly remove your card or at least say it is a reprint or put it in the category for reprints because ANYONE who knows T206's and especially Honus Wagner T206's will KNOW this card is a fake. So what YOU are trying to do is SCAM an unknowing person.

I am reporting this to eBay."

The one thing I HATE about this hobby/business is people who try to STEAL money from unknowing collectors. I hope there is a special section of HELL for greedy people who prey upon ignorant people.

Thanks for letting me rant. I will now get off of my soapbox.
