You know things are bad for GAI when scammers selling reprints don't want to be associated with your product.

Hopefully it'll get better for GAI when they open back up on Monday...

Looks like this may be a hijacked account. FastEddie has no feedback from Jan 2009 to Sept 2010. That Sept feedback was for a T-206 Wagner.

I don't think it's a hijacked account. It looks like he sold a similar item before - see feedback April 23rd, 2008.

Yeah I see that now. Good Catch. I also see he has sold quite a few vintage cards in the past. That other Wagner was a steal. He did sell a lot of high end Corvette stuff. The guy that bought the other Wagner's ebay is id Vette something. Hmmmm! Fishy things going on here. He might be trying to lure a greedy fish with expensive fakes through best offer. He has a 52 Mantle for sale also. He needs reported for sure.

A couple of thoughts...

#1.) T206 were packaged INSIDE the packs, not outside

#2.) GAI slabs full packs inside a plastic baggie (inside the holder). As the tobacco leaks out, it sticks to the baggie such as seen in the photo, so I doubt that the tobacco was purposefully spread all over the front and back of the pack - it just happens in the GAI holder.

#3.) The card is a clear fake.

#4.) That is not a 1909-11 era Sweet Caporal pack. I'm sure GAI screwed this up (as they did with EVERY other Sweet Caporal pack thy encapsulated). That pack is from the "ask Dad" campaign, circa 1918.)

Fasteddy1957 is clearly a scam artist, and if he reads this board, I hope he clears this up asap.

He has also listed the following auction: 1909 Sweet Caporal cigarete pack- unopened with a BIN of $1500 or b/o.

http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-Sweet-Capor...item27b70bd020

However, he has scanned two different packs. The pack front shown has an "A" series tax stamp, which dates the pack to the 1920s. In the back scan, he shows a 1909 tax stamp. These two scans cannot go together. An "A" series tax stamp never was issued in 1909. Fasteddy is showing the front of one pack, and the back of another.

He started the listing at $5K, but now it's at $3.5 million. What a moron!

He also added a lot of "fluff" to his description.
