Ruth signed lots of reprint cards in sharpie, right??

I think I remember checking out something that acofind was selling a while back, but decided against it because of the private listings. Seeing a private listing is usually a pretty good sign that there's fake items involved.

It would be nice if ebay would start to always leave at least the listing heading on all feedback for both parties whether a private listing or not. I wish they would do away with the private listings and keeping bidders private thing as well. I honestly don't know who ebay thinks their protecting by doing this.

This piece of garbage is currently at $92.02, with what looks like some shilling, but some legit bidder as the high bidder right now.

I certainly might not be the smartest person in the world, but who is throwing away $92 on this?!?

Honestly, can someone be SO GULLIBLE to not know that Ruth could NOT sign a reprint card, and COULD NOT sign in Sharpie? Plus, the forgery is bad on top of it. I tell ya, sometimes people get what they deserve!

You are so right Scott.

Nifty timing for this thread. We spent the past week laughing our butts off at this one:

Check the vendor and the bidding.
We hit the "Ask seller a question" button about four days before the auction ended ("Hi - are you sincerely under the mistaken impression this laughable fake is authentic, or did you glue the photocopy to the JC Penney shirt-box yourself?"), but somehow never got a response...

I saw that one too Butch. Looked like a photocopy of one of those tin repro signs glued to a shirt box.

It was actually pretty convincing, except that the vendor has a, shall we say, "reputation," the portraits were the wrong color, the size was off by a couple of inches, that style of box wasn't in use in 1912, and, oh yeah, the game didn't come in a cardboard box.
