Hard to imagine someone bidding on Goudey Ruths and prewar Cobbs would actually fall for this? All the typical scammer signs are there. And some of those fakes are blatantly obvious, like the 49 Paige.
It must happen enough (without returns) to make it “worth it” for this guy. Last edited by Jgrace; 11-12-2020 at 02:32 PM. |

I reported a card to eBay several days before it ended. Was never pulled.
It sold twice, first buyer returned or didn’t pay.

I remember when you could buy raw cards on eBay with no issue. I think people would be surprised what you could buy if they are newer to the hobby. even as late as 1999-2004 ish I still would find incredible deals on ebay of raw pre war cards. I Purchased a 1916 Ruth standard biscuit and Joe Jax Raw on ebay and it graded fine with SGC.. Probably was around 2002.. Those days are long gone.. RIP.
Unless its a set filler common I don’t trust anything raw on ebay. The seller and his feedback/time on ebay is the dead giveaway.. |

And did you say Standard Biscuit Ruth??!! Sorry, I couldn't help myself (although this is not your SGC one). Especially after our text exchange today about M101-4 vs M101-5 |

Your very cruel for posting your SB. Funny side note if you search flea bay- for what ever reason some guy decided to copy your specific SB as one of the most common fakes listed online. It’s bizarre! |

Hard to argue against this. There are opportunities through having good search parameters, a good eye, knowledge, and maybe a little luck. Plus, there is some joy in searching through the weeds and coming up with something pretty good.
I think of that blue Old Mill back T206 that keeps getting promoted. Would it be nice to have it? Sure, but not for 15-30k or whatever it's going to sell for. Considering it's such a minor little printing goof(although people go wild for minor errors like that), I'd much rather pull the trigger on a couple of nice Uzits or something. I have little doubt that I can find a blue Old Mill for $50-$100 and enjoy the hunt while looking, might take awhile though. There are plenty of them hiding out there in the wild.
