Do these look a bit off?....Willards Ruth, Cobb etc...

[calvindog]

Those are all bad. The first two Cobbs for sure.

[SMPEP]

The Ruth is already at $333. What a bargain!

Leon - I can believe you outed this steal.

[rdixon1208]

Yeah they all look bad to me too.

I sent him a message letting him know they were fakes "In case he didn't know"

Here's the reply I got:
"You are welcome to win them and get them graded you will be given a full refund if they fail however once encapsulated you will have a one million dollar lawsuit filed against you I am an 85 year old man who's son just died 30 days ago i was given some of these cards as a boy and others i bought as a young man send me a written apology or your attorneys name and # your choice You must have very deep pockets slander is very expensive my lawyer you will know very well , she's on the news weekly ."

It's almost like this guy went to school before they invented the period.

Then I got this one a few minutes later:
"How dare you insult me during my time of greatest grief my son dying at only 51 are you a monster or insane ! YOU WILL APOLOGIZE or pay dearly you scum"

There's very little chance with that type of grammar and syntax that those "sentences" were composed by an 85-year-old man.

His purchases on eBay are from people that sell different types of paper and other printing supplies. Ha

[rednecksims]

Report the items and use Copyright and trademark, counterfeit item, and counterfeit item. In the remarks let them know it is a replica he is representing as an original.

He probably means he's 85 in dog years.

Well, don't leave us in suspense. Did you send a written apology or your attorney's number?

[Laxcat]

Straight forger or "78 cats crazy"? Not sure. What's it called? Poe's Law I think. Where the line between true believer and troll are blurred.

I dont understand this guy's response if he believes they are real. If he mentioned an attorney, it is juvenile at best. The obsession people have with mention of an attorney when someone gets upset is ludicrous. It undermines them in such inappropriate times, and means their word means nothing to me.

I think most or all of the cards are real. They've just been soaked with various solvents and the scanner isn't the best. The seller has been around long enough to have been able to acquire material like that so it isn't that surprising.

Saying that from my previous post, I think there are serious issues with the latest 1923 Willard's Ruth that rdixon posted the link to. First the borders look too wide, and also the corners look to well rounded. When I see something like that, it screams fake to me. And when one item in the lot is fake, it makes me very skeptical of the rest, especially if they are all top tier HOF'ers and no similar looking commons.
