I know this will sound strange, but you couldn't see it for looking at it. or as the old addage .... you couldn't see the forest for the trees!

Here are a few, actually all of the bogus cards I've purchased in my day...besides a fro-joy babe ruth sheet purchased 20 years ago in college. The cross was sold to me at a nat'l when I was a kid...having no knowledge of the set...the non-black back is a sure give-away. The others are blatant...poorly scanned ebay jobs...both less than $10 each...so I didn't bother to complain when I received them.

This one I picked up from rawoysterman:

What does the back of that "Voskamp" look like?

Look familiar?

Wow David-that actually is a scan of your card.So this rawoysterman steals scans of people's cards and creates his own reprint,and sells them on ebay?
What a shame.

Clayton: He did the same with my T210 Stengel and my D304 Cobb. Not sure if he took the scans from the auction page before I owned them or from my ImageEvent site but am guessing the latter. (If it was from IE he would have to have gotten the link from Net54 which means he probably lurks here. Hi, Rawoysterman ). The guy states clearly on his eBay sales pages that he is selling reprints and I don't have any copyright on the images, so technically he is doing nothing wrong as far as I'm concerned but it still creeps me out a little bit all the same.

Seems only fitting to show these with the upcoming REA lot.

Pat Chan a.k.a Scott Bond care to chime in and tell Howard why the below are fakes...Howard if you have any questions just email the T206museum and ask for Pat he made the below Old Mill cards to rip off collectors like yourself.



Another oldie but a goodie...

They are all professionally graded John, so they must be original and not tampered with. I am truly appalled by your post.

We will settle this over a Vodker (East Baltimore lingo) at the national this August.
