John,

I think we're basically in agreement; I would give exactly the same advice to new bidders. I don't think you were suggesting otherwise, but the fact that only an ignorant bidder would fall prey to poorly orchestrated fraud is no reason to let the seller off the hook. I'm not the first one to raise this point here, but it's an important one and bears repeating -- there are plenty of people who aren't experts in baseball cards but know who Babe Ruth was and would like to buy a card such as this one as a Father's Day gift, birthday present, or whatever. And there are plenty of people looking to make a dishonest buck from them.
