Default Green Cobb with impossible back on ebay....Beware

Posted By: Dave S

My opinion only for what it's worth, and not trying to beat a dead horse here. But "outing" an obvious fake card is day-and-night from "outing" a rare, un-ended auction. Call it exuberance, call it whatever...but it should be contained until the auction ends...
I have all the respect in the world for the knowledge Ted brings to this Forum and to the hobby. Outstanding, to say the least. But regardless of those "who posted, their sentiments favored me by a 2-1 factor. And, I received four emails from "readers" thanking me for enlightening them on this particular card"...I likewise received e-mails from members who likewise had the opinion that the Lundgren outing was wrong...
Just as opinions vary as to "raw vs. slabs", "PSA vs. SGC", etc....I guess we likewise can add "outing" to how we perceive it...

A day or so after Lundgren, a thread was started as to some Southern League'rs erroneously listed with supposed brown backs. Without going into lengthy detail...the seller ended that listing as well as 2 other T206 lot listings. The seller ended early and sold the cards to a 54-member!! Can't blame the seller by any means...but why post on this Forum about a "misleading" seller and then buy their cards?? Again, I guess we all perceive things differently...and form opinions from there...
