N321 1888 SF Hess California League Color - new to the hobby

Don't know about eBay policy but when a person won't say something is authentic and tells me to do my research before bidding if I have a question about authenticity, I don't bid.

Just wanted to add that I'm not saying I think they're reproductions or that anything is off with them. Just that my messages with the seller did not instill confidence in their listings.

It looks like the Legendary set that sold a few years ago was missing only the Gagus, but four cards (Tom McCord, Billy Newhert, Big Smith and Leonard Stockwell) were paper cut-outs from an advertising piece. So the set was technically 35/40.

A Gagus sold a few years later for $13,279

The Gagus that sold last night appeared to be in much better condition, but definitely looked trimmed to me.

amazing group. Something you definitely don't see on EBay every day.

Ho-lee crap on that Gagus.....wow. Yeah, looking back I see that comment about the (4) cutouts. Interesting..............

WOW! I did not see these at all...beautiful looking cards!

I didn't see them in any searches, but they kept popping up at the bottom of my screens under the thumbnails for "Since you looked at... maybe you'd like ..." or "People who bought .... also looked at ....".
eBay is definitely getting smarter about cross-posting items down there at the bottom of the page.

I have bought a few cards because of ebay's cross posting things at the bottom of what I am looking at. Very sneaky of them .

So if you made a find like this would you get it slabbed first as a means of maximizing returns?
