T206Collector...but this was not an "innocent question" brought by a newbie, but a poorly crafted attempt to scam someone(s) out of money.
While I certainly recognize how many here inappropriately pounce on novices, the skeptical (at best) responses in this thread should not have a chilling effect on a newcomers willing to post.
A genuine newbie would not have drafted his post this way:
1- intentionally poor spelling ("knew memeber"; "discribed") and punctuation (people who write without periods do not sometimes get it right).
2- description of Doyle is near perfect in line with catalog description of rarity, whereas Davis and Alperman are not in line with catalog description
3- providing private email address in thread, to draw predators off the thread, as opposed to seeking public responses within the thread
4- claiming cards have no value, in an effort to lure predators.
These are the red flags as I see them. In a different context, 1 or more of these flags would not necessarily require a swift rebuke. But all 4 together like this is ridiculous.
