1912 T202 Hassan Triple Folder Johnson/Street SGC 96

Posted By: Donald Johnson

Just wondering if this auction is the real deal. This card was listed in the Fall Mile High Card Auction (same SGC serial #) and three things make me suspicious: 1) buyer's past purchasing pattern has no vintage cards and 2) the fact that you have to get on this sellers pre-approved bidding list -sound familiar? 3) there is another high end card 1934 Goudey Gehrig GAI 8.5 (mislisted as a 1933) from a different seller with the same pre-approved bidders list requirement listed just above the Johnson/Street. Anyway, I might be paranoid so here are the links - I just don't want anyone to get burned.

"Both" sellers refer to their cards as a "tremendous pasteboard," although otherwise, they seem quite different descriptions: the t202 seller uases flowery language, the '34 Goudey seller's language is simple and straightforward.

This is not to say there are no other suspicious things about the two cards; I just don't see (hardly an expert)any or know the history of either.

The Johnson is to die for, if it's legitimate!

The image used for this eBay auction and the image used for the Mile High auction are the EXACT same file - same name, same modification date and time.

Something doesn't smell right.

RE: Gehrig -- interesting to see keyword spamming used to troll for GAI buyers.

Good examples of two auctions where something just doesn't seem right. My suggestion is to trust your instincts on these and pass and pass.

on the Goudey seller. Although he has over 200 positives, all are as a buyer, none as a seller. Do you perhaps think he racked up a bunch of low end purchases in preparation for a big sale like this so that casual lookieloos would think he has a solid rep as a seller?

It's only taken 6 or 7 years, but you can now break down a person's feedback and look at just their buying or selling feedback. Now if they do that so you can see just the negs and neutrals I would be happy and have been routinely making this suggestion to them for years. I doubt it will happen since it will make it too expose their valued PowerSellers for the frauds that many of them are.

If you look closely, the seller of the Goudey Gehrig "took" the title from this auction. Who knows where he/she got the scan from.

Both are scams IMO.

If you go to open the image of the Gehrig card in a new window the web address comes up:

The Johnson:

Unless Mile High is selling under this name, these are scam auctions.

The Johnson card is in the milehighCard Auction right know:

I think this is where you will find the original.

The mile High auction has ended, but if this guy is the buyer of the card, why is there NO reserve? The winner paid almost $9000 for the card.
