Default Stay away from?

I was on Ebay tonight and I noticed this t206 Cobb card. Seems kind of sketchy and I don't think it's legit. Opinions?

Hey Waz,

That's definitely a reprint. The caption is all wrong and the color is not right either.

Best,

AndyH


Edited to add: I forgot to mention it came from "Grandpa" too and he says it's legit. Must Be.

That's what I suspected as well. Thank you for confirming.

Look at his feedback. He buys reprints.

The description sounds as if he's making a joke. Why do you need money before you go to Marines boot camp? I hear they provide free clothes, lodging and food. If he said he needed money to put his dog through college, that might have been more believable.

#1 irule in buying: If the seller doesn't say it's authentic, pass. As with many scammers, no where does this guy say he's offering an authentic T206.
#1 rule in selling: If you don't know the item is authentic, you shouldn't be selling it.
