Ebay auction to avoid

I doubt many people here would have to be told, but for anyone that wouldn't know enough, this is one to stay away from. I actually emailed the guy for the fun of it and asked why he didn't send it in to get it graded himself. His response " I just sent in 25 cards to PSA and don't have enough money left, so I'll let this one go". Yeah, sure.

He actually had a BIN of $299 a few minutes ago when he first listed it, now thats gone. Someone aware of PSA that sends cards to get graded but doesn't send this one because he just spend $300? Sure. He also mentioned to me there is no factory number on the back of the card...

It's amazing how many reprinted tobacco cards show up in estate sales. I have never seen a single tobacco card at an estate sale, real or reprint....

The squirrels have been quiet for a many weeks with their counterfeits. Time to get out the BB gun again.

Our HERO, "Counterfeit_card" has bid on the fake Cobb card also. Maybe it, too, will go away.

I liked the optional $50 insurance charge on the Cobb.

But still the best type of story in this vein is the number of calls I get from people who want me to make an offer on the rare Honus Wagner card they have - they are prepared to take less than the $1.4 million that its worth. I ask how they know the card is worth $1.4 Million - and their response "..because it says so on the back of the card....." duhhhhhh

My favorite line in bryanshaw0605's Magie listing was that he is "not the original owner" of the card. Until he divulged that tidbit, I naturally assumed that he must have pulled it from a pack of Piedmonts ninety-seven years ago.
