I recently sold my T206 Cobb with the EPDG back. While I do regret selling it a little bit, I have moved on.

Any feels or opinions on the ebay link above? I sent several questions to seller. They have good feedback and have been on Ebay for a couple years. Obviously I would have the card graded pretty quickly by SGC and request my money back if it wasn't authentic or there were indications that it was altered.

I'm also participating in the "live auction" for three three Ty Cobb cards ending tomorrow.

thanks

Don't waste your time or money on that.

What are the indicators that it is fake?

Here's what I see:
1) A good looking card that if real should've been graded and authenticated. Too good to be true?
2) Also offering a Ruth non-graded card
3) The seller has one negative for "non-communication". Ebay member for two years
4) The seller doesn't have much if any history of card selling or buying in their feedback.
5) Money-Back guarentee
6) Sold several Louis Vuitton bags for $500-2000. Buyers provided feedback indicating the bags were authentic and exactly has described.

Questions I sent:

1) Terms of the money back guarentee
2) Where/when they got the card
3) Has it ever been graded
4) If SGC says the card is fake or alterted/trimmed, will the money back guarentee apply?


#6 is a little persuassive for me because they are a lot of fake LV bags on Ebay, but the seller appears to be selling real ones. A negative feedback for selling a fake/altered card and not honoring their money back guarentee would likely kill all future expensive bag sales. If I pay via paypal (with credit card), I do have some external guarentees of getting my money back.

Are you really willing to go through all of that risk and hassle to maybe (BIG maybe) get something that is worth twice what you pay for it (since I am sure there will be a shill bidder as well)??

Isn't it better just to go place a "Show" bet on the favorite in the 5th race today at Aqueduct?

How many buyers on eBay could actually tell a real LV bag from a fake? I'm sure most are bought by a husband or BF looking for a cool gift for the significant other and no clue what the difference is. Bt the time the bag is given as a gift and the SO figures out it is fake, buyer adn seller have probably already exchanged feedback.

I read through his/her feedback pretty closely. As for the VL bags, at least one customer says they verified the bag at a LV Store. I've seen a lot of very fake and even less looking fake T206 cards on Ebay. How many of those also included a Reserve price? I am hoping someone will speak up and say: "Yeah, I sold it to him last week as a reprint" or "I know the seller and he's scammer". I'm very curious to know how he will respond to my questions. . As previously mentioned they are offering a Goudey Ruth, what I didn't mention was a another high end item that probably isn't faked: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?
The seller may be selling some valuables that have been laying around the house and collecting dust.
I appreciate the input so far!

Follow up:

Response from seller to my questions:

"Grandfather No grading done If deemed trimmed or not authentic will refund money"




I've spent enough money on the REA and something else I'm wathcing on Ebay, so I think I'm passing on this one. Update: I emailed the seller again, his reserve is much too high for even me, a risk taker, to consider.
