how much people are willing to bid on reprints. Especially one that has all the hallmarks of the typical ebay scam.

do these people look and see if this clown has ever sold another card? All he has ever sold is used blue jeans, clothing and beanie babies

Given to him by his grandfather; sold As Is; and "God Bless" brr...gives me the shivers...all that's missing is he needs the money for his daughter's operation.

the black print that should be green is the real killer, I bet all of the bidders are the seller himself.

At least one of the bidders is legit, as he has bid on many '33 Goudeys---u would think he knows better.

emailed the seller: "Very odd - why is it that you folks who sell reprints as "real", always claim to have gotten them from your grandfather, and add "God Bless" at the end? Aren't you just a little afraid that you might burn in hell for knowingly lying and then hiding behind God's name?"

I'm not overly-religious or anything, but if I were "Bruce Almighty" and was a bit bored, I would use guys like this for lightning bolt entertainment.

Bob,

I had no idea you knew his daughter.

What never ceases to amaze me is how a person can put legit material on ebay and have a tough time selling it or getting the price they want, but people will dump their bank account on ebay auctions where the reprinted or doctored card has about as much nostalgia and long term value as a roll of Charmin.

$761 with over 3 days left? You've got to be kidding!

What's really scary is that the high bidder has bought numerous other 33 Goudeys and yet is bidding on a card with a black ink back.

This clown (11bigdog) just bought these reprints last week under the same id and is now selling them as the real thing.
