I'm kind of low on funds. I'll contribute 57 cents, a button and some used chewing gum.

Nice Owen.
I will throw in a T shirt if that will help the cause? Somehow I think we are still coming up a tad bit short.

Seems like a misguided dealer. eBay is fraught with problems -- why wouldn't you use a reputable auction house?

Anyone else notice how all the Ty Cobb back cards have Cobb looking off to the side like the reprints and when I looked at graded T206 Red Cobbs on eBay they all seemed to be looking straight forward.

I think he caught a glimpse of a pretty girl and followed her with his eyes. But I never have noticed this. Very interesting. I wonder if any other series that has a red cobby has his eyes like that?

No, just nystagmus.

because the cards are counterfeit.... But really, we don't know the owner, cards were slabbed 15 minutes from discovery, PSA doesn't tell us how they authenticate, 3 or 4 are sold on the "inside", and now the sloppy seconds hit the market with a company specializing in pennant stickers. If I had a vintage printing press, this is exactly how I would do it.

Rick has been a dealer in cards for many many years. He has had some very high grade material. There's no conspiracy here. He's trying to sell direct as anyone would.

Plus one big time. I've been doing business with Rick going back to the late 90's...It sounds like a lot of sour grapes....

Well, it looks like it's time for this board to get an Ignore User function... you, sir, are woefully ignorant.

I assume he's not using an AH so he gets paid the commission. If the consignor wanted to sell these through an auction house he or she would have done so. And still might at some point. Ebay makes sense for the extra exposure, probably to attract a private offer.
