T206 Plank on eBay

[Abravefan11]

I pulled the image but it's too blurry to compare when you blow it up.

Fellas: that's a 100K card if real. Do you really think the seller would sell it the way he did if it was real? Seriously?

Calvin,

Those are my thoughts exactly.

The seller currently has cards for sale and has sold cards in the past. He listed the card as a T206, so he HAS to have some idea WHAT the card is. All he has to do is look up T206 Plank in a price guide and see what reference prices are. If he just digs a little deeper, he can Google T206 Plank and pull up cards that have sold at auction and SEE how much they go for.

Not having the card graded and WILLINGLY selling it for what he sold it for tells me ALL I need to know about the card.

Also, if any well heeled member of this board saw the card and thought it was REAL, don't you think they would dig out their checkbook and bid $5,000 or $10,000 for it?

I mean, I read about people willing to buy a card on eBay for a couple of hundred dollars and try to flip it for a $50 or $100 profit, if they think they can, so why not buy a card for $1,000 dollars and try and sell it for $75,000 or $100,000 dollars?

damn good home-made counterfeit? reprints never look that nice. might be just a bit too tinty need better printer or photo editing software. hopefully a board member here was the winner so he could report back about the card stock. those are always dead giveaway.

this one looks 100x better than the $560 plank from the link above

I bought it and it is real-you can pick it up on the bst in a week or so...

This belongs on the BST.

I don't think the seller was trying to fake anyone out with a blurry photo. He took the same horizontal photo for all his cards including his 1999 Champ Bailey. His card selection seems flea market-ish to me; maybe where they came from? I'm leaning toward what Barry said, Fake front. I don't see the overlap he is referring to but the back just looks real to me.
