Just now, I ran into this one and had to say something. Where are these coming from? Is blessed collectibles making them all? Has anyone held one of these cards?

edited to add...I apologize all, I thought I was in the other forum, my bad. Bottom line is its getting worse and worse in all areas of baseball collecting. Autographs have been a problem for a while, 20th century cards to a lesser degree, now rarer 19th century advertising pieces and cards

From the sellers advertisement on ebay:
"If this card was real it would sell in thousands."

Aside from his poor use of the English language why not just sprinkle fairy dust on the card and make it real?
