Question about eBay-posted 1928 Babe Ruth candy card
 

Posted By: <b>Spike</b><p>This card professes to be the real deal, and naturally would be a steal at the opening price:<br><br><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:I T&amp;item=140301785120" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:I T&amp;item=140301785120</a><br><br>Anyone out there willing to put real US dollars down on an ungraded 1928 Ruth candy card? It's a huge hole in my type collection, but seems rare enough to me that it'd be worth grading each and every one if you think it's real. What do folks think?<br><br>Spike

Posted By: <b>JohnnyH</b><p>Doesn't really come across as a scam, plus he is offering a refund. His last two sales went through and the wrapper looked real. I emailed him asking if he was sure they were real and he got right back to me, here is what he said-<br><br>I bought 6 (#1-6) of these cards from a dealer in Louisville who had several of these cards, as well as the wrappers from the candy. I picked out the best looking card of each number. He specialized in older Yankee collectibles, especially Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig items. I looked them over closely and see no reason to doubt the cards aren't originals. <br><br>Upon what basis do you (or someone else) think it's fake? I have told 2 others who bid on earlier cards, that if they get their card graded and discover that it is NOT original, I'll gladly refund their money. <br><br>

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>If you want to buy a fake card go for it. I am 100% sure it's a bad reprint. I have studied them extensively. How do I know? I have handled enough and seen enough to know. IT's the grainy look, trust me. Whoever grades it as anything other than a fake is making a mistake. regards

Posted By: <b>JohnnyH</b><p>Thanks for the info guys, I sent him another message letting him know it looks like he bought some fakes, I told him some top experts looked at his auction and are 100% sure they are not real, he might want to pay another visit to his guy in Louisville.....

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I don't know about top experts, maybe Dan is, but I do know about that card...Also, if anyone would hold it in their hand, and hold a real one too, it would be painfully obvious that the paper on the fake doesn't feel &quot;smooth&quot; like 80 yr old paper is. You just can't fake that &quot;feel&quot;....Now, there are some good fakes out there, to be sure, but this isn't one of them. regards
