You should also know that there is a card in your auction that at some point was torn completely in two and glued back together. GAI has somehow managed to slab it as "Authentic". I sold the card a few months ago (un-slabbed) with full disclosure. There is no mention of this condition issue in your auction ad. |

I pulled out the card and took a good look. You are indeed right about the tearing and it is now noted in the description. Thank you for your help! |

Ryan, that was a very funny post. Would a third generation card be one in which a plastic holder contains no card at all? |

I think a third generation is a photocopy (on regular size photocopying paper) of a second generation. |

If I had a "third generation" Honus Wagner would that be the equivalent of a "second generation" Arky Vaughn? |

Reprint is the common baseball card term, but by definition second generation, third generation and later generation all mean 'not original'-- first generation being the original. Many would consider reprint, reproduction and second/later generation to be equivalent or at least similar terms, each indicating that an item is not the original and likely made at a later date. |

"I was not trying to conceal the facts about the lot by using the term "second generation"...though I will concede that "reprints" would have been the more logical term to use. Sometimes when you are writing descriptions bleary-eyed at 3 in the morning things don't come out as effectively as they should." |

Suppose it was mistaken wording and he meant to write reprint - why was there a $100 minimum bid for 6 reprints? |

Glad to see that you have enough free time to think up conspiracy theories and expand on them in detail on message boards. |

First, understand that the collectors on this board are very knowledgable about cards from the 19th century to 1940 (many are experts) and they have seen all the various scams before. I am not suggesting that you were intentionally trying to scam anyone but it is an extremely common ebay practice to list reprints with vague disclaimers or downright deceiving descriptions. The skepticism on the part of board members has a lot to do with being fed up with seeing these daily scams perpetrated on unsuspecting buyers. It is bad for a hobby that we enjoy and care about. |

As they were never described as originals and were removed, I would consider the Fro Joy situation seems to be a minor issue at best. Obviously, baseball card collectors prefer the terms reprint or reproduction, as it is clear to them what these terms indicate. |

Point taken, Jim. I thank you for your post. I do understand the concerns of the board and appreciate their comments--even if they can be a little harsh at times. |

About all auctions I've followed, from Mastro to Christies, edits description or removes lots during the auction. All auction houses, and single sellers, make errors, and fixing an error as it is pointed out is a good, not a bad, trait. Obviously an auction doesn't want to have too many catalog errors to correct, as it won't make them look good. |

Reminds me of the South Park episode when Butters had to go to the hospital due to a severe indian burn. "Worst case I've seen," said the doctor. |
