Questionable Shoeless Joe card

[jb217676]

This is for sale from the same seller selling the fake 1909-11 T206 TY Cobb Red Portrait

Is this card legit?

You can be sure, that if the seller of a card on eBay says his card is a reprint, that it is a reprint.

The seller says he is not sure it is a reprint, and I quote, "I don’t think that the card is fake or a reprint but I am listing it as a reprint do to I have know way of knowing how my grandfather got the card" Some buyers might think they are getting a legit card. Why would someone pay more than $5.00 for it?

Same reason that some "poor" people buy lottery tickets every week.

Sometimes I wonder if some bidders actually scroll down to read the descriptions below

This guy seems to be pulling alot of $$ in off of these reprints.I'm assuming this will come back to haunt him in the near future.

I don't collect '40 Playball cards, so I am not an expert on them; however, after looking through his listings of other cards, I noticed that the dozens of other ones he had listed were bad fakes and had similar wearing patterns as the Jackson card. So, I'd say there is virtually no chance that Jackson card is legit. Bid (or don't bid) accordingly.

Ol' gramps had one heck of a laser printer.

Inspite of his description, this Tool's deceitful. Win it, cancel it then leave him a negative... I'd do it, but my standing on ebay is on shakey ground.
