Buyer Beware

[bobfreedman]

I asked the seller if I could see a picture of the back and he said he could not, I then asked him where he bought it and he plied "eBay". I asked him if he would guarantee the authenticity and then he stopped answering my questions. He did mention that he did not like my "questions"

I am guessing that it is not real and would not touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Had the same issue with that seller

Let me get this straight, the seller wants $15K for the photo but he states he is not sure if it is authentic and he didn't like your questions? Wow. In light of the price I think your questions about authenticity were valid . If the photo was real you would think it would warrant at least taking it out of the frame to take better photos. IMO when buying a high end panoramic photo of that quality , it would be best to buy through a major auction house, considering all the repros out there.

I've seen repros of this photo, good chance that's what this is.

Not to mention, when I asked him about the back etc... he replied "Purchased it on eBay and had it professionally framed." Why would he not take a picture of it then prior to getting it framed???

Thanks, I was getting ready to buy it, but you've convinced me to stay away. Anyone that doesn't like your questions should certainly be avoided.

It's a bargain!!

This seller has another Negro League panoramic framed photo listed with a detailed back photo. The frame on this one seems to be other than "period" also. Personally, I would stay away from anything this seller offers up.
