Default Eddie Plank 1910 tobacco card

Posted By: brian

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.

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.

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?
