1917 Collins McCarthy Ty Cobb on Ebay
Three different bidders went after this card....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT I'm no expert on this set, so other then the apparent thin stock and excess stain discoloration on the back side nothing about the card itself stood-out as a reprint. But a few red flags in his description did stand out. First of all, he knows that SGC exists (so "STRIKE ONE" for not having it graded). Secondly, he claims to "have this checked" - perhaps by his great grandmother(?) but placed the value at only $250 for what appears to be a Vg+ to Vg/Ex card ("STRIKE TWO"). Thirdly, fourthly, and fifthly...............great grandfather was the original owner ("STRIKE THREE"), misspellings ("STRIKE FOUR"), knows it's a Collins McCarthy and did not google its value ("STRIKE FIVE")!!! Five strikes is a bit over my "Thomas Tusser" limit. Lovely Day... Last edited by iggyman; 08-30-2010 at 11:25 AM.
