T206 Cobb Red Portrait Tolstoi on eBay - Fishy Flip?

[T206.org]

Right... and who goes out of their way to say this??
"The seal on the card has not been tampered with, ensuring authenticity."

Distant photos through a plastic bag should help hide the frost.

Judging by the corners in the back scan. This could be a skin and paste job.

Now I believe I have seen this same exact card, with the same exact flip 3 times now, but this is a "different seller".

Or an unfortunate buyer...

I asked last night for a better scan of the card without the bag, and for a clear pic of the flip. Also asked if they would end early for $1800 money order sent express mail.

Better pic of the flip now at least. Seller wanted to research ebay rules for ending early.

Same card sold May 7 this year for $860 to sportsgraffs by shiznityz28. IIRC that seller is on my "stay away" list.

Very strange for sure....................nothing in the sellers feedback gives me any confidence either.

Look at the waviness of the baggy in the sleeve... it doesn't match from auction to auction... either it's a different slab, or it has been tampered with... wonder if there's more than one of the frankenflips out there.
