Most of this Seller's high dollar raw cards are Fakes. Please be careful.

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..

Couldn't agree more Conner. I just posted on a different Ebay scammer thread that I no longer consider ebay a viable place to buy cards and it has become the wild west/dark web

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

Ry- You can buy on ebay just check into the seller and make sure its graded. Definitely some land mines and schemers to avoid, but some of my best deals historically have been on ebay. Even the last couple of years. I will say you can tell the shilling and fraud is getting worse and worse every year, so for what you collect I get not even touching ebay. Jay has posted it before so I am not outing him, but he is the one that ended up with my SB SGC 3 Ruth.

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.
