I CAME ACROSS THIS CARD SEE LINK THE SELLER
DESCRIBES THE CARD AS BEING IN VERY GOOD SHAPE.
CARD IS NOT GRADED. UPON MY INSPECTION OF THE SCAN
THE CARD LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A 7. SHOULD THE SELLER HAVE HAD IT GRADED. IS IT A BIG RISK BUYING VINTAGE PREWAR
THAT'S NOT GRADED. ANY OPINION GREATLY APPRCIATED
PUT YOUR SHORT DESCRIPTION HEREclick

I would've said it's certainly worth a flier at the level at which it's now at...until I read this line:

"This card has been in my great grandfather box for the past 95 + years."

It's not quite "My husband/father had a heart attack," but it's a listing cliche that usually elicits an almost reflexive clicking of the "Back" button.

What about "my ex-boyfriend's hockey rookie cards"? So many grandfathers, so many attics in this world of ours.

Get a written email from him that it is authentic and give it a shot. (The T205 set has been reprinted and looks very nice and like the originals in scans). If you get a return privilege, I say go for it.

Unless he gives a money back if it does not grade. I do not care what the description says, the top border looks trimmed to me.

The card is very nice otherwise and at the current level might be worth a shot but not any more than what the high bid is now.

Card looks good but looks a little short and does not have the best focus. It's worth the play at less than $50. My opinion.

card looks a little fake, could be a reprint, but EVERYTHING that this guy sells is higher grade tobacco... T207, T206, some very nice stuff, check out his feedback!

not a friend or do I even know the guy, but his cards DO seem nice, and if they're ALL fakes/trims then I need a new hobby...

or a printing press like that guy...

How would the seller know it's been in his grandfather's box for for 95+ years. Does his living 110 year old great grandmother remember her husband putting the card in this box and affixing a tamper evident seal? Did the great grandfather leave a letter detailing the card's life in the box? Was this box recently recovered from the Titanic?

Thats the reason I didn't bid on the 2 T205's he had...why not just say they are from your collection?

Adding the grandpa's attic story always sends me away.

His feedback should outweigh most anything a seller can say in the description! Many reputable dealers and collectors have bought from him and left positive feedback.
