Default Are these original?

Posted By: runscott

fact: the card is a forgery, or scuffed-up reprint
fact: the seller knows this
fact: ebay will receive the same commissions they get from a real Ruth card

the scam: "even though everyone tells me it's real, since it isn't graded I have to list it as a reprint"

why it works: stupidity mixed with greed
why it works: ebay assumes the seller is telling the truth and really doesn't know if it's real or not
why it works: the scan looks real enough
