Thank you, Scott, for bringing to our attention that these cards were not authentic. I manage a store whose main business is buying gold and silver, however, in this economic climate, many people have brought other items into our store, including sports memorabilia. We don't buy baseball cards that are not graded by reputable grading companies to prevent buying fakes. I was obviously not aware enough that even these can be faked. I started investigating the possibility that these could be counterfeited after your message to us, and contacted Ebay, who looked at our listings and assured us that these cards were fine. They told us that they get many complaints about fake items all the time, and that we had nothing to worry about. We did what we thought was right at the time with the info we were given. It certainly was a learning experience, albeit an expensive one. I am now in the process of taking legal action against the seller, as we have his info from the purchase. Hopefully we can get our money back, and we will follow through with prosecution. Kenny
