I'm so tired of bogus bidders messing with the auctions of legitimate, highly literate Ebay sellers!

This must stop!!!!

Merry Xmas to all.

Kenneth, is that you, the first bidder? You may want to thank the high bidder, he might have saved you $$, the Cobb, Speaker, (and M101-5 Ruth) cards are obvious fakes!!!








PS 99 cents, wow!

Kenneth,

fkw / Frank is correct, you should be thankful, not displeased. Those cards are reprints.

He has a PSA 2 Playball Speaker, and I wonder a tiny bit about its authenticity... it may well be real. But grading doesn't convince me.

Frank.

from reading kenneth's post i take it he was being sarcastic...with emphasis on the literacy of the seller's vocab et al.

But sometimes it is inappropriate, not to mention annoying. I recently sold a miscut N28, carefully described, good scans, no question of its authenticity. I've sold to a number of board members without problems, have over 1500 + feedback 99.9% positive. So I found it annoying and insulting to receive a high maximum bid from "backdamage" with 0 feedback. If anyone from the this board was responsible, it wasn't appreciated.

Quan, I thought it was a joke too.....until I saw the first bid was from a bidder named Kenneth.... ???

For those that cant tell , The 2 T206 cards are doctored reprints, the M101-5 Ruth is a homemade job

2 T206 cards have a font that is the wrong color and too condenced. Also Sovereign is not found in orange (Speaker card), and the Cobb also is missing the tobacco factory district number on the back.

The M101-5 Ruth is a homemade fake. The authentic cards wouldnt have (inkjet) ink damage from a drop of water, and back should be black.

The 1940 Playball Speaker is real , .... but does he own it??

Having dealt with Ken before he WAS being sarcastic and is not the Kenneth who bid.

I've traded e-mails with the seller. He is obviously a scam artist and will not listen that his cards are 100% fake. He's going to let them run their course and rip off who ever buys them. Some people just want to justify being a crook.
