Are people really this easily fooled?

That's the nicest Cobb CJ auto I've seen today.
Looks like maybe one of the shillers won it - how long till it shows up again? Sooo...who will be the first to find this card re-listed? |

You do have to appreciate the knock-off PSA holder with barcode though :rolleyes:
|
How cool would that be though if a real signed cj cobb was out there? Has anyone ever seen one?

It appears that the buyer cancelled order. Here is their feedback left for seller.
"Cancelled order because couldn’t trust that merchandise was authentic " |
Really ...

To answer the original question - yes, people are easily fooled. Not everyone is as knowledgeable as the people on this board.

It's well known that these easiest people to con are con artists themselves. They are convinced they have stumbled onto something that will allow them a leg up to pull a fast one on someone else. Seems counter-intuitive but it's true.
Great book and are really fun read. https://www.amazon.com/Big-Story-Con.../dp/0385495382 |
Good thing that a Sharpie was used so the signature appears bold and legible.

We all have items we wished we bid on ... but strangely one of the ones I always regret not buying was an "autographed" New York Post article that announced Mickey Mantle's death. I still crack up when I think about it. For $10 it would have been a funny piece to have to show to people (but for $20 - which it sold for - I was out).
Cheers, Patrick |

My favorite estate sale was someone was selling a Ruth auto photo in silver sharpie. I laughed.

I'm most amazed that the owner apparently collected for 85 years

If we are to believe Leon, then that means that the mint doesn't print money a few years in advance to stay ahead of the game. Now the question is, do you believe Leon? :p
Merry Christmas to all and now I feel foolish for bidding on the auto'd Cobb CJ card.... It would have been even better if it were a Cobb auto on a Joe Jackson card.... |
