A seller on ebay lists 79 caramel cards including several super rare 1922 American Caramel E122s. the lot included a E122 Babe Ruth. The cards were glued to a dilapidated album but still included several hall of famers. the seller appeared to be a local consignment shop and had no idea whether the cards were reprints or original. Some of the cards had markings and a few were trimmed. The auction started yesterday and I immediately placed a bid. to my chagrin, I see my bid cancelled this morning and the listing ended. I immediately contact the seller and tell him I will pay him more than anyone. He tells me, sorry man but my "brother-in-law" confiscated the cards and you know, family comes first! I was bummed all day!! This was just too good to be true!
