[T206Collector]

As many of you know, I collect autographed T206 cards, so I have a lot of saved searches that involve players who I know signed T206 cards, e.g., Rube Marquard.

I have to tell you, every morning I get soooooooooo many new eBay listings for Marquard signed things -- hardly ever T206 cards, but quite often 3 x 5s, or 70s Grand Slam, or cuts, or whatever. It is hard for me to believe that anyone in their right mind would actually pay more than a few dollars for anything signed by him, unless the medium was rare.

Interestingly, as many signed Marquard things that are out there, there are even more Smokey Joe Wood and Edd Roush items. But the funny thing about them is that while their signatures are extremely common, I never, ever get an alert on a signed pre-war card of either of them. I'll get a dozen new listings every week, but never on a signed pre-war card.

Yepbg. Don't get me started on him. If I wanted to sell my $30 card for $250 I would do it myself. I don't need to sell it to him for him to mark it up.....

"...It feels like a score just to find a legitimate item selling by a reputable seller in an auction format. Let alone actually buying the item. Just hitting "watch item" is a major victory in today's ebay climate."

I couldn't agree more. I also agree about the search clogging. I have no interest in seeing 2000 T206's listed by 707 Sportscards every other week. Do they ever sell anything?

Yes they sell some things!! That is why they do it! They always seem to find some suckers, err I mean CUSTOMERS, to pay their bloated prices all the time. Do these people not know how to do an Ebay search, for example "1959 BOB GIBSON ROOKIE PSA 6"?? If they did that, then they would see, that just MAYBE, there is no reason to pay that $150 markup when there are better looking examples more in the ballpark of being fairly priced......just my 2 cents.

My brother is pretty sure some or most of his T cards have been available on ebay for at least 7 years now

On the Pre-war side this is one guy I'd like to get rid of:
