Seller refuses to guarantee money back if PSA or SGC denies authenticity. Any opinions?

Bob,
The back scan looks very bad to me. Probably a good reason why he unwilling to do so.

Enough said. It isn't that rare.

Oh, and he also says it still smells of tobacco 97 years later. PASS!

Agreed. Seems like the seller is trying a little too hard. I don't like the coloring of the card either and am leaning towards questionable authenticity.

On July 18th he sold a T206 George Brown.

On July 19th he received positive feedback for the card ("it is nice card thank you").

Today, July 21st, he is selling the exact same card again.


p.s. He sold the card at 8pm his time on July 18th and received the positive feedback the next morning at 10:30am. Apparently, he mails his cards via particle accelerator.

I'm not reading any more of your posts until after I finish my coffee.

I just did a spit take all over my keyboard.

Jim, not rare, but I'd have to say it was scarce. The St. Louis AL, which is tough, pops up every now and then but the Cardinals card seems to appear less often than any other card except the Boston NL (Braves). Just my 2 cents.

I agree as a Cardinals collector, it is a scarce card. The "rare" part is that it still smells like tobacco after 97 years. That is indeed rare.
