PSA Honus boo boo

seller obviously knows that this card has nothing to do with Honus.

I dislike listings like this - and am left with a negative impression of the seller.


Why not just say it is an error on the flip and sell it that way?

I wonder if the cert # is for an Honus Wagner or Heinie. If the seller knows this is the "Bat on Right Shoulder" (even though it is clearly on his left) variation, then he is also aware that this is Heinie (Charles) Wagner and not Honus as he listed on his title line. He is being a little deceptive in his listing.

I have rec'd mislabels from PSA, SGC & GAI, all were taken care of at no charge.
Wish the seller would have done that as well, and putting a $1500 Buy It Now on a $75ish card is plain wrong.

Well I will not do any business with Steeler-Man at TNT Collectibles. Having been around long enough, he is well aware of what he is doing. It's people like this, that give the hobby a bad name.

In regard to giving the hobby a bad name, I'd place this eBay ad pretty far down on the list.

However, if I were an outsider looking in and saw a T206 common identified by one of the two leading grading companies as the most famous baseball card in existence, I might have serious questions about "the hobby."

I think it could certainly be confusing to an 'outsider'.

The only difference between the two is one was created by accident and the other one isn't. I can overlook an accident more than I can handle someone being COMPLETELY dishonest in their listing. The seller should have returned the card to PSA for correction.

Hopefully the buyer will not crack the card out of the holder (being very careful) and slip a bogus Honus into the PSA holder for the huge score/scam.

To big a deal over this listing. Anyone in the hobby knows better. Anyone who would buy this as a Honus is an idiot for not checking it out first. Written badly, yes. But give it a break as to someone getting stuck with it.
