A Southern Leaguer with a Brown Old Mill back sold for the price of a VG-EX common.

As far as who is responsible for the error, it's everyone- the consignor didn't know what he had, the seller missed it and didn't mention the back was brown, and all the bidders missed it too. It fell into the T206 Bermuda Triangle.

i'm half tempted to ask, the unthinkable.

do you think that the buyer even knew what he was buying?

is that possible as well? i don't think it is out of the realm of possibility.

PWCC has no clue about pre war baseball cards. That brown old mill hit him in the face and he lost $15K for his consigner. Embarrassing!

Kevin Mize - I missed you at the National,

Please feel free to introduce yourself at any show I am set up.

BMW knows better, their mother irishhosta is posting a faded black Old Mill.

The card advertised for sale is exactly as described--a shade of color between black and brown.
That's incorrect, Dan. I've been in the hobby for quite a few years and after the many millions of cards I've seen, I can emphatically state that the back of the Old Mill is not faded. Of that much, I am certain. The T206 in question came from an original collection which contained other, tough front-back combinations. None of the cards in the collection were faded or possessed unusual or significant elements of environmental degradation.

I respect you Mike, we have had very good dealings in the past, but that isn't even close to a brown Old Mill. Sorry my friend, you are dreaming on this one unless the scan is terribly bad. I own 2 brown old mills and 1 is labeled brown by SGC.

I would stake my life (though not worth much) that your card is not even close to a brown Old Mill.

That being said, you and your brother are still long time friends of mine.

Agree 100% faded standard Old Mill, regardless of the write ups.

As for the other card the buyer is a friend and knew all too well what he was buying. He got an amazing deal and took a gamble on a mislabeled card good for him.

Cheers,

John

Kevin Mize - I missed you at the National, you said I was just a computer tough guy and that you would see Scott Forest at the National, yet I was there for 5 days and hungout with Scott and never met you????

Please feel free to introduce yourself at any show I am set up at, I would truly love to meet the person that sabbotaged 21 of my ebay auctions with a bogus ebay ID.

Danny boy- first of all, I have nothing but respect for Scott Forrest, great guy. He is nothing at all like you, obnoxious, arrogant, disgusting, and incredibly crude (your good points). You can dish it out, but you damn sure can't take it. It's funny how some people on this board find you somewhat humorous, but deep down they have to wonder, "what in the hell is this guy so miserable about?" By the way, no need to sabotage your Ebay auctions, I only placed a bid on one, just one mind you, and your response was "get a f***ing life you asshole, I get sick and tired of you MFers" Anytime you want to meet me, let me know pal....Oh, by the way, have a nice day....

The buyer of the brown Old Mill has forgotten more than most of you zeros will ever know, he knew exactly what he was doing and stole a $15K card.

Comical just like this board!
