Careful, there's a bad ad backed S74 Cobb silk on Ebay!

Hmmmm, seller must've changed description. I no longer see a mention.

I looked again after seeing your post, and you're right. The seller apparently reconsidered full disclosure; it was there earlier.

He lowered the BIN price to $190... most likely to account for the lack of honesty.

Here my friends we have witnessed a true trifecta-

Ignorance, honesty, dishonesty .......all in one auction.

The second wife of Mike Wallace was an actress named Cobb. It was not a long marriage but lasted longer than 60 Minutes.

Don't beat him up too badly guys. The Seller actually thanked me for pointing out the problem to him and updated the description as he told me he would. He just didn't know what he had. He also told me the back WAS NOT glued on to the silk, so in that respect he may have been a bit misleading. It is still an original Cobb silk and even at the original BIN he had listed it at, it wasn't that overinflated in asking price.

For the earlier poster who commented about him not crossing out the actress reference on the back of the silk, all the silks, whether ballplayers or actresses, mention both names on the back.

If he is honest why didn't he leave the description amendment? That is definitely the wrong back on that silk and it should be described that way, unless I am missing something? As for the price, that is irrelevant to the issue of there being an actress back on a baseball front, no?
