but Rod, like MikeW and the others, simply ignore the facts and try to act "picked on" when we point it out. This is a board for discussion of vintage cards, so, yes, we are perfectly within our rights and the parameters of this board's goals to point out crap that paper cut-out sellers are trying to disguise as "vintage cards". Are we arrogant because we refuse to recognize your paper cut-outs as part of the "vintage card hobby"? Maybe, but tough - if you really had something of value, it would become a hobby in and of itself and you could PROUDLY create your own board and discuss the hell out of it with your buddies from Hawaii, but oddly, I don't see that happening.

When something is sold in the "cards" section and labeled "1916 Spalding #3 Honus Wagner", and it is actually a photo of a team or several players and there happens to be a '3' written on Wagner's image, and there is no mention of the actual title of the publication (eg: "Spalding Baseball Guide" or "Spalding Record Book" or "Spalding's How to Catch",etc,etc.), and also no mention of the page number it was cut from....this is deception pure and simple. A more appropriate title would be "1916 Spalding Baseball Guide, cut from pg 316, featuring Wagner". Yeah, right, that's going to happen.

Rod, MikeW, Roy Huff, etc., regardless of how they disguise the facts, are deceiving in order to rip people off.
