I found them at my granddad's which makes me a firm believer they are 100% authentic, but I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE if they are not

    I love how these 'grandfather's cards' finds are always found in top loaders, yet the seller has no clue as to their authenticity or value.

    Meanwhile, he's bought Griffey rookies in the past and has a Dale Murphy autographed card from a pack bust listed.

    Go figure.
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    The guy is violating the Ebay "authenticity" clause IMO.



    << <i>Sellers may not disclaim knowledge of, or responsibility for, the authenticity or legality of the items offered in their listings.Sellers should take steps to ensure that their items are authentic before listing them on eBay. If a seller cannot verify the authenticity of an item, the seller is not permitted to list it >>



    This is right from ebay.

    This is "scamspeak" for the seller knowing the cards aren't authentic.

    I offer no refunds because that takes the risk and the excitement out of spending $20 on a card and sending it in to be graded and it being worth hundreds or maybe thousands. I hope someone gets one and they turn out to be real. I just don't know how they could be fake that is all. I honestly do not understand how. Would he have made the cards fake or a company?? Sorry I know very little about vintage baseball cards except they are very intersting pieces of history.


    his reply to a question I asked him. lol

    Once you purchase the item you can send it in and get it verified. I get screwed out of money this way and you make money, but I guess that is the nature of the beast here on ebay. I don't have the time or patience to send them to be verified, but I know plenty of you do. Beautiful cards to me and you make what you want to make out of the cards by looking at the pictures I have enclosed. I tried to take detailed pictures for you that know how to tell if they are authentic.

    Of course we've all seen this type of "3rd grade school" excuse before - usually lies. For sure not in this case, but some people sometimes may really think they've found something in Grandpa's house, not realizing that some of these reprints have been around now for quite a number of years, and possibly through handling and other ways of acquiring natural wear, get a look of being genuinely old. Grandpa simply might have bought a reprint set many years ago, and the children and grandchildren played with it. Again though, this particular seller is a flat out liar.
