Me too. Though I have to say that might be the worst looking fake CJ I have ever seen. If someone paid 4k for that, they will learn a valuable and expensive lesson. If I were a betting person I would bet no one bought it....

The above two auctions have been removed by Ebay.

Christopher, we DO let the sellers know. I sent the guy a message about his '33 Gehrig several days ago, got a response that I was a 'prick' (obviously, he knows me from this board ), and that was that. Every now and then I report them to ebay, but I'm not the fake card police, and there are tons of them on ebay.

Thank you, Scott. I appreciate your reply.

But if anyone here wants to expose sellers for selling reproductions as originals, then make sure that seller receives free advertising. Insert their Ebay ID in the title description coupled with some other key words. Post a screen shot.

At least let those sellers know that knowledgeable collectors are watching them. Direct them to the thread where their auction is being exposed. Let them know that true collectors are watching.

Here's my most recent response from the seller:

Dear t206themonster,

I have no reason to be dishonest. I'm not that kind of person and I sure don't need the money. I see that you sell cards. You must be having a difficult time with your business, or you wouldn't spend so much energy trying to prove you are right. I am the wife of a avid card collector. We wouldn't cheapen this hobby for anyone or for any price. It's really irrelevant what you think about me or my husband. By the way, we make a great living and what we do for a living is not selling baseball cards.Ebay is a hobby, not an existence. Have a good day.

I then let her know that she now has her own thread on this board, so maybe we will hear from her.

You damn straight I sent this guy an email letting him know I saw his bullshit. I did post the link...not sure how to post the screnshot or if that infringed on any laws. All good ideas, thanks.
