It just seems to me kinda funny that high bidder on PSA 9 1971 Topps Pete Rose on E-Bay appears to have never bought or sold anything before 1990. I really wanted that card but will pass against a shill. Oh well maybe next time.

I know what he paid for that card and I don't think anyone would be shilling to get the card over 5 grand since obviously the card will put it self over that mark.
what is the bidder id that you are accusing of shilling?
sweet caporal packs as the tax stamps arent "right".
i actually decided to skip them and cancelled a rather
hefty snipe.
If anyone is interested in unopened cigarette packs that may or may not contain a T206 card, I checked out an excellent resource on the subject, Jon Canfield's book/pamphlet "Baseball & Tobacco." Jon sells the book at cost ($3 if I remember correctly), and it's a great reference. You can contact him at joncanfield19@hotmail.com.
Anyway, if you are looking at a cigarette pack from one of the many manufacturers in the T206 set, you should make sure it has a tax stamp from 1909 or 1910. For most of the manufacturers, the tax stamp should also say Factory 25, District 2, Virginia. The exceptions are: American Beauty 460 series - Factory 42, District 4, North Carolina; El Principale De Gales - Factory 17, District 2, Virginia; Hindu - Factory 649, District 1, New York; Lenox - Factory 30, District 2, New York; Piedmont 350/460 series - Factory 25, District 2, Virginia or Factory 42, District 4, North Carolina; Polar Bear - Factory 6, District 1, Ohio; Sweet Caporal - Factory 25, District 2, Virginia or Factory 30, District 2, New York or Factory 649, District 1, New York or Factory 42, District 4, North Carolina; Tolstoi - Factory 30, District 2, New York; Ty Cobb - Factory 33, District 4, North Carolina; Uzit - Factory 30, District 2, New York.
Even with this data, the pack may contain a T205 card, a non-baseball card, or no card at all. If it does NOT match this data though, it will not contain a T206 card.
make your own conclusions but I have dealt with this individual on many occasions. He is a dentist with 2 practices , he collects rose and unopned packs. He got married rather recently and is buying a house which is why these roses are being sold. He had every rose card in psa 9 or better which makes for a nice down payment.
