Default The Watchdogs

...look at the heading that eBay allows it to be sold under:

Sports:Trading Cards:Baseball-MLB:Singles (Pre-1930):Graded

It is not a trading card. It is, at best, equivalent to one sheet off of a roll of Charmin or Handi-Wipes.

Don't think novices won't bid on this trash and get ripped off. I had a couple spoof auctions up on eBay recently. Clearly for humor only, not even remotely real. I had dozens of people write to me telling me that they enjoyed reading them. But, guess what? I had several people write to me (each time) and ask me what I thought the card was worth, was it real, where I bought it, did Christy really sign it, I had one person ask me if I watched Christy sign it in person... They're out there. And, just because they are inexperienced doesn't mean that people like Huff have the right to rip them off.
