It's never illegal or against the rules but is considered bad form in some cases. A 48 Paige on ebay would be seen by just about any one who is looking for one. T206 Wagners, 52 Mantles, and other high profile cards are, or should be exempt from this unwritten "rule." In my opinion at least, for what it's worth.

I agree. When any of the Big Six T206 cards come up, I want to know because it's exciting! I may never get any of them but the folklore surrounding this hobby has a lot to do with those cards. I am totally understanding about not wanting to screw up somebodies deal on a card, but these cards aren't really secrets of you are in the market for one anyway.

Right that was the point of my joke...its a T206 Wagner...its going to get attention.....making fun of the people that complain about outing auctions as well......not against the rules at all as stated....
