But does it count as fake if they didn't even TRY to make it look real?

Yes. That is a pretty sad effort.

How can anyone sell this junk as "original"?
Maybe I should buy it and send him monopoly money as payment. ![]() |

That's just a rare blue backed SC. A simple search would have told the seller it was a fake. Smh

This Honus Wagner was listed last night -- possibly this has been discussed on the board before. This checks all the boxes:
- Dubious origins (supposedly found in an estate sale) - Graded by a questionable grading company (is SCE a real grading company) - Seller with only three prior auctions - no complete photos - no refunds - the best is that he'll mail it to you First Class -- can't even spring for Priority Sadly, it is getting bids on it of considerable value. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111053914427...#ht_101wt_1141 |

There is another thread about this clown. He is selling a fake 1952 Topps Mantle rookie.
As annoying as these jerks are, I can't help but wonder what idiots expect to get a $250,000 card for $500 from a seller with a zero feedback rating as a seller? |

Sean, thanks. I am new to this board. Just getting back into T-card collecting after a several year absence. This time I am going to take it more seriously and make it my life's goal to actually complete the the T-206 set. This is more aspirational than anything else (I'm only about 5% of the way), although my wife is supportive so that is a start.
I am excited to be an active poster -- this appears to be a very frequently updated and informative forum. I enjoy the banter and the information has been supremely helpful already. I did not intend for my first post to be about a faker on eBay -- although I do have other questions to ask about that. I probably should have posted an introductory message. Thanks, Andy |

Don't worry, I didn't introduce myself until I had posted for three months. I'm curious: how do you define completing the T206 set? 518, 520, 524, or some other number of cards?

Sean, that's funny, my wife asked the same question yesterday. I have no illusion I'll ever own a Wagner, Plank, Magie, etc. So I guess that would be 520. But also I don't know if I can shell out the money for the other two (is the difference between 518 and 520 the two St. Louis Browns variations?). So I would be happy with 518 -- to clarify I have many years to go I hope so this is purely aspirational.
So, for now at least, it is 518. What would that be called? T206 Complete Set Light? |

Speaking of fakes, here's one that I bought in 1990 when I was a complete newbie to tobacco card collecting: |

For those keeping score, the fake Honus Wagner listing has already been removed. I am sure it will reppear in a few days with the always interesting descriptor: "I am selling as a reprint" or, better yet, "a novelty card." As if this removes any culpability for passing off a fake as potentially real.
