Totally OT- welcome back, after 27 years. Question, just out of curiosity, what brought you back into collecting?

If you follow some of their feedback on where they made purchases, it leads to this Seller.

They seem to sell fakes in BCG holders.

Has nice corners for a battered reprint...

Thanks! I posted over in the "welcome back" thread you started.

I just came across this ridiculousness on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1926-W512-6...0AAOSwN5BfHglv
But get this - the seller also has a PSA3 Goudey Ruth: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1933-Goudey-Babe-Ruth-53-PSA-3-Very-Good/153649971508?hash=item23c6408134:gigAAOSwFXddg~Y m
What to make of that?

The cards look totally authentic, just priced a bit high.

You mean you wouldn't pay 13 grand for a PSA Ruth from a guy who is also selling a raw "W512" that is in near mint with a corner lopped off??

Also since when does a 4 equal vg?

Wow. I've never seen one seller with so many sold '52 Mantles and AF 15's.
