Cicotte is written underneath the card and looks like the same pose as his Boston Store etc. not sure what it is though.

I agree most look way to thin, also it looks like there is a lot of gloss to the cards, as you can see with the flash glare.

I believe the Dover comment was added after the seller was informed of this site. He obviously has no idea what the Dover reference means.

Neither do I. Can someone explain? I may have missed it earlier in the thread.

Dover made books of reprint cards in the 1970-80s.

They're horrible and wouldn't trick anybody on this board.

wow, thats $8K more that I would have paid and 2X more than I thought anyone would have paid, ....... over $12 a card with many of them being 2/3rds of a whole card at best.
Besides removing the 3 Wagners, 3 Weavers and 3 Cobbs,and the chopped T212-1, E90-2, T217's and trying to get some $$ for them, I dont see many cards actually worth more than a couple $$. then you have all those homemade cards too.

Winner should keep 90% of the album intact and keep it for its history, if you try to remove these pieces of cards and flip them, Id think it would be hard to break even on this piece.

[Bridwell]

I too am shocked at the final price. Anything above $5k was a major gamble.

There are some cool uncataloged cards in there, if they are real. See Moriarty in picture in the post above. There were about 15 cards from a series I've never seen before, such as Cicotte, James, Gowdy, Adair, and others. Very cool? Can anybody identify the issue?

Maybe they were cut from a scorebook or magazine article?

yes it makes perfect sense for someone to sell a massive album of rare cards from somone directly involved with MLB on Ebay for a fraction of it's real value. what a swell seller

Im surprised at how many of you think these ARE NOT Authentic...

The wear alone should prove theyre all authentic, let alone that 75% of the cards pictured have never been reprinted. ie the Zeenuts (1911-17), D310, T212-1, T212-2, T212-3, T217, E90-2, E99, E100, etc., and the only cards that have been reprint (T206), easily pass as authentic.

The camera glare on some cards is because those cards have a glossy surface, ie the M101-4/5, T212-2, T212-3, etc.

Only a handful of the cards would have any value if removed, ie the 3 Wagners, 3 Weavers, 3 Cobbs, the E90-2, T217, some of the T212-1s, and maybe a couple of the Youngs and Mathewsons... the rest are $3-$10 cards at best. These cards lost 99.5% of their value when Junior used the scissors on them, not the glue.

[ullmandds]

Gotta agree w/Frank...these cards are definitely real...just in terrible shape. This and the fact that the seller has bad feedback will prevent me from interest in this lot. Lots of interesting looking cards in there, though...some of which I've never seen before.

[Cat]

Well, those of us that were interested in bidding would prefer that momentum swayed against the belief that they are authentic.

there was a seller in Florida in 2007 that made great looking Obak reprints on thicker card stock. He sold tons of them to unsuspecting collectors. The Cesar's Creek flea market where I live has sellers that have reprints of just about everything you can imagine. I have seen the Zeenut Weaver card reprinted and I also bought one of the green background cards that shows Weaver with his team the San Francisco seals ( I can't remember the ACC designation maybe E100). this was hand made from some guys printer no doubt, but it was cool looking at the time, and I knew I would never be able to buy a real version of that card. So yes, though many of these cards have not been "officially" reprinted, there are still home made versions that some will make to look old and try to sell.
Remember that old Brady Bunch episode ...."Caveat emptor"

I'm in tears laughing at this :-)

BTW - love one of his eBay negative responses with "DUKE IS A D-CK"

[dstudeba]

Please forgive my ignorance, but there are references in Frank's post and the listing to E100s and E99s. I only see one E100 and no E99s. Can someone please point out the others to me?

So much for needing good feedback to sell a high ticket item.

Here is the buyer: annawoogie (537)

Someone want to let them know that some of the cards might be bogus?

[ctownboy]

I don't see where annawoogie has bought or sold ANY sports related items recently. However, I did see where they bought a portable black light for $9.99.

I hope they are going to put that black light to good use on these cards....

It's under the black light. LOL! Looks like they bought the black light right after winning the scam book.

I thought Ebay hides the bidder names and only displays a few letters (eg s***g)?
