Any opinions about this Auction's Items
 
Looks like a lot of fakes here. Any expert opinions on some of the high item cards ?

The Post Cereal cards look authentic, and Im sure many of the 1960-80s stuff is authentic, but this stuff has little value.

But Every single PreWar card I can see good is a fake, except the Ruth autograph game card, but those also have little value/demand.

I have to agree with Frank. I'd say just about everything there is a reprint or counterfeit, with the exception of the Post's. The trimmed Satchell is somewhat ridiculous(I vaguely remember seeing it on ebay a while back along with some crazy story), and I'm pretty sure both the Fleer and Nike Jordans are both reprints. It looks like someone that picks up every cheapie he finds on ebay, with no regard for authenticity. I'm pretty sure I've seen most of those exact same cards on ebay at one point or another.

And given the amount of fake cards, I wouldn't trust the auto's one bit either. Especially the "Legends" cards that all appear to be signed with the same blue sharpie.

Yeah Cobb w/ Cobb back. Highly doubtful.

I just went to an auction these clowns were running. Everything was in a few beat up cases all duct taped shut saying DO NOT OPEN. Real top shelf operation. The auctioneer claimed to know zero about baseball cards. Sold a ton of fake CJs, fake Playballs, a bogus Cobb E102, and a bunch of other garbage. The auctioneer prefaced the sale with "If it is worth $2 tomorrow or $200,000, you bought it and he wasn't taking it back." It was sickening. A bunch of garbage with some legit fair condition goudeys mixed in. They had a Sanella Ruth, and the auctioneer claimed to not know who it was. I was able to save the guy standing next to me from taking the leap of faith, but I regret not saying more to others.
