This is one of the craziest diatribes I've read. I had to stop halfway through. I made it to the "queen of baseball cards". Scrolled, read FBI facial recognition, and scrolled again. Hilarious.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that thing has had three offers... I sure hope it wasn't you adrian

Even if it was proven to be Honus, I can't see it selling for anywhere near that much coin.

Default Wagner

I've seen a few pictures of a young Honus Wagner, and that does not resemble him on that card, in my opinion.

Mine was one of them. Offered 5 bucks.

It was promptly declined.

By the way, wasn't Pittsburgh spelled without the "H" back in the 1890s?

It says at the bottom of the listing that it was "Posted with the eBay Android app".

You mean to tell me he typed all that with a PHONE and not a computer??? I hate writing more than a sentence from my phone!

I knew he wasn't going to accept it. Thought he might give me a kurt remark or some absurd counter offer.

Unfortunately he did not.

It must have been because he had already received a higher offer.

This is staggering. When the description is copied to Word it is 37 pages long and the word count is 11,373.

A very quick summary of the entire auction is: It's not Honus Wagner.

I don't think I've ever met someone in real life who is capable of typing something like this cdv's description. What do such people look like? How do they behave if you see them sitting in a coffee shop?

I'm once again baffled by humanity.

Random excerpt.

There are sometimes as many as ( 10 churches ) and there are at least (10 bars )

I feel cheated. I live in a Pennsylvania small town, and it doesn't have anything close to 10 bars... or 10 churches, for that matter.

Well, there ya go! It's obviously genuine based on the church/bar per town ratio.

If you ever want to hear an imbecile posing as a wise sage, send this guy an email. It will make you cringe.

This has to be a joke.

He raised the price to 1,000,000.

Dollars, not even Pesos.

I submitted an offer for $20, expecting it to get autodelinced. However, it was not. He does offer free shipping, so I improvised a solution, just in case he accepts it.

Is the offer currently in "pending" status yours?

Default P.T. Barnum was right!!!

There are now 8 offers. There are even two offers from the same bidder. Hopefully they are all joke offers. I'd put in an offer of $6.50 but I don't want to lose my good standing with eBay for taunting a seller.
