Ignorance vs. Thievery
I am wondering what opinions people have in regards to listings that are brought to our attention and how many of them are crooks who take advantage of people and how much of these listings are just people who have no idea what they have.
I once thought I had a Wagner as well...granted I was 12 and it said on the back it was worth $20K...but I really did think I had an amazingly valuable card. Do you think the majority of these listings are just ignorance or are there really that many greedy unethical crooks out there?

If you happened to be stupid, you might as well be arrogant about it.

You forgot about the 0.0000000001 % who are right and we are wrong (in general, not about Honus).

My opinion is 99% thievery and 1% ignorance. If they didn't know whether the card is authentic for all of the listings, why do they all have no return policies? And who would not send a big dollar card in for authentication? Practically anyone can google Babe Ruth or any of the other big names and see that these items are worth a lot.

I'd say about 85% Thievery, 10% ignorance and 5% insane.
