and
I truly think this will work out best for one of these types of transactions. If for some reason the seller doesn't want to do it this way then that should be a major red flag..... I will vouch for Joe G. 100%.......good luck guys...and tell us how it turns out if you can....regards

Thanks Leon !
I'll also vouch for Joe Maples. He would be far closer than I and he can be trusted. He's a good guy whenever he isn't bidding up Detroit items I still need.

Too bad this wasn't going to be a real find... the initial email was like a Pavlov's dog experiment. I bet there was a lot of salivating on keyboards happening when that initial post went up.

at least they went off the beaten path with those cards..........probably a slightly smarter than normal crook. People are always looking for the fake Mantles and fake Wagners. The cabinets were a little out of the norm...........

Steve- it wouldn't be the first time. But in that instance they came to me. I just had to walk down the street.
And those cards are of course obvious fakes.

Eric..........
Found all (3) pics at Legendary's back auction archives.........likely what the scammer did too............fakes look REALLY washed out and you can't see the bezel of the cardboard mount on them either............. Last edited by autograf; 10-20-2009 at 11:24 AM.

For us newcomers , please explain the difference between the 3 fakes and real versions. It was obvious to the veterans on here but I don't really see the difference on my screen. Thanks. Looking forward to hearing the differences instead of just saying they are fake. Thanks Mike

Most original photographs and color lithos have deep rich colors, or clear and well defined photo tones. The three fakes all look very washed out. Plus, the group of pieces fell under the category of too good to be true. The person claimed to have three unrelated pieces, all superb and all rarities. You always have to be suspicious when you see that.

In addition, the photos make the pieces look like they are curled up which would rarely happen with a cabinet card. The cardboard mounts are extremely thick. The washed out photos are the biggest giveaway to me though. Plus you can see the mount on the Sporting Times is beveled (I said bezel earlier.....think that's for a watch) but the fake is not. The old 'too good to be true' adage also holds true on 'finds' like this.

Thanks for the insight. My vocabulary skills are increasing also ( bezel, beveled edge) ! I had to look them up.
