zachI pick most of my cards up in private deals but do use ebay too. Authenticity is no big deal if you know what the real card looks like and you know how to spot fakes. I have no problems with ebay and am glad to say i've never bought a fake. Take some time and compare blatant ebay scams to real ones. Lets say take a t206 cobb PSA 3 and compare it to one being sold as is or not sure if its real. You will see a difference, the longer you collect the better your eye gets for these type of things. Plus, take baby steps. Don't go rushing into cards and just want the big stars like Cobb, buy commons or even lower grade hofers so you get the feel for the card and know what to look for.
