ArthurThere has been a huge increase in these ripoff artists....Most of them note something like "per ebay rules, as this item hasn't been authenticated it is being sold as is"
I did some searching and could find no mention that EBAY REQUIRES sellers of material to sell it as a REPRINT if it has not been authenticated.....
These scumbags are really ruining things for collectors such as myself, collectors of low-grade unauthenticated vintage material who want authentic cards but don't want to pay thru the nose for a graded copy......At least you'ld think the sellers would be a bit more creative than "I just fond a box of 1933 Lou Gehrig Goudy's that all have identical wear in an old shoebox....They sure look old and worn, ....I'm not sure of the origins of the card so per Ebay rules I'm selling as is..."
Oh well, enough of my bitching...
