When the guy with the above cards originally contacted me, he said he had a bunch of 1912 Boston Garter that belonged to his grandfather. Of course this is one of those typical 'Yeah, right' eBay stories, but he sent me humongous and detailed scans of the cards. I was aware of the checklist for the set, but this was the first time I had ever seen many of the cards. They weren't Goudey Ruth or T206 Wagner images you could download from eBay, or even from a MastroNet auction. I knew the only way this stranger could give me the detailed scans was if he or someone he knew physically had the originals.

This is as opposed to the mentally challenged scammer who emailed me a picture of a rare Frederick Foto Babe Ruth card he was hoping to get big bucks for. I replied, "Uh, you do realize that the scan you emailed me is from my own website, don't you?"
