Listing Reprints as "unknown"
This one has so many red flags, not sure where to begin?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ty-Cobb-1909...YAAOSwOVpXZINF Looks like a reprint from the off-color and paper stock. "No returns". Seller tried to sell back in April and appeared to renege (see neg feedback - "God Bless" language and all). Now relisting again and look at the bidders - one with 4 feedback and 36 bid retractions in last 6 months bidding it up to close to $300 currently. I still don't know why eBay continues to allow this crap ?? My guess is the seller bought it, found out it was a reprint, now stuck with it, trying to unload as an "unknown" knowing it won't get two bucks as a reprint. Seems like this game is a regular occurrence. You'd think eBay would require 3rd party authentication or stipulate returns for not authentic/not as described. I realize they will usually back you in these cases if push comes to shove, but it shouldn't even come to that. Last edited by Edwolf1963; 06-27-2016 at 02:15 PM. |

Agreed, I was about to post in regards to the same auction. The font looks off on the card as well. Even looking at the bidding pattern, the 4 feedback bidder looks to be shilling.

Look at his other auctions - 1914 CJ Joe Jackson, 33 Goudey Lajoie, T206 Plank.
Unknown. Yeah, right! |

it is against ebay policy to list a card as "unknown" off to my latest round of reporting items. Someone watch them and let us know if they're actually removed.

It says "t206" at the top, and "unknown" further down. If it's a reprint (or a forgery) it isn't a t206 card. I assume that these guys list their cards as "unknown" in the hopes of avoiding prison, but since it says "t206" at the top, could they still be nailed for fraud?
Perhaps of more relevance, when it comes back as "? AUTH" from PSA, will the sucker who buys it be able to file a "item not as described" claim, since it isn't a t206 card? |

Link? I can't find that specific verbiage

Notice that many of the same bidders for each one of these cards. 36 retractions, 66 retractions, etc.
