JaredMarc,
Your story reminds me of this guy I met with who was posting cards on craigslist...
On the phone he gave a long list of 50's-60's cards, gloating that they were in "mint" condition. So I met with him out of curiosity. He pulls these "mint" cards from an old cracker tin, organized with rubber bands and plastic sandwich bags. Most of the cards were FR-GD at best, but he had one of those stupid phonebook-sized bookstore price guides and insisted he was cutting me a deal by offering 30% off the high price. I knew he was stubborn from the start, so I didn't push back much - I just chatted with him for a while and left empty-handed. The experience was well worth the trip, haha.
He also claims he has this large pre-war collection "in boxes" 'that he's been selling off in partitions. I don't really doubt him. However, he did mention that one of the items he sold within the last year or so was an autographed T206 Wagner. Does anyone know if such card exists???
