eBay's Lack of Concern
We have all seen eBay's lack of concern with fake baseball cards. Unfortunately it goes further. Be careful with ANYTHING old and potentially valuable on eBay. Example: not only do I collect baseball cards, but also old railroad paper. The Florida East Coast Railway built an incredible railroad feat of engineering to Key West, called the Over-Sea Railroad or Key West Extension which was wrecked by the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. Anything associated with that is very desirable and valuable. Once built, and up until 1935, the railroad's corporate logo reflected their pride, with a train crossing the Long Key Viaduct. After the hurricane ruined the Over-Sea railroad down the Keys, the FEC Railway changed their logo to a sunset with palm trees in 1936. This item now for sale is dated 1927, and most definitely fake:

The correct logo in use in 1927 is shown below. I have reported this item 3 times, and contacted the seller, with NOTHING being done.
Be very careful with eBay.
