    Looks like a label? not a card. to me anyway.

    pvt auction does not inspire confidence.


    Steve


    you think the guy is reprinting this stuff?

    he has a bunch of other stuff too. like redman posters etc.

    you would think that with all those items he is selling he would state somewhere trhat they are vintage.

    perhaps an email to him?


    Good for you.

    I'm lost. How do you get from I.W. Harper to Honus Wagner? The back of the item is blank. There is no reference to Wagner in the print on the whatever it is that is pictured.

    the picture is Wagner ....looks fake ...aged in an oven or something.

    If its real though it would a hell of an item

    It's a label fom a bottle....it's been soaked off....hence the browning and the warping...

    As a collector of brewery labels..tap knobs and old beer cans and trays...I have seen these at shows....they tend to sell for $10-$15 dollars...

    My question to the seller was:

    are the items you are selling vintage or reprints?


    his reply:

    Hello, I could not find a date on the trade card and while it looks and feels old it may be a reproduction. That is why I did not list as antique/vintage. Thank you for your interest.


    he answered only about the label, still referring to it as a 'trade card' which just by reading it one can tell it is a label.

    I wonder why he didn't answer me regarding his "ITEMS"

    Steve - ever notice how often the answer to questions don't answer the question?
    I consider those answers worse than none at all.

    Amazing - someone pluncked down $140 for this piece of paper.

    I'm definitely in the wrong business....

    I see that the bidder's ID is being kept private and I assume it's a scam.

    Darn. Wish I could find that article on the Yankee Stadium PC's that had been reported with Ruth's likeness. It was months ago... If I remember accurately, the original was the Stadium only and the reprints (and there were different versions) had Ruth's pic added. Was a reputable site too. damnit. Good luck

    FOUND EM, These crooks are getting way to crafty. Let me know if you have trouble with the linx...

    well thats a pisser.. thanks for the link, though.. mine is also slightly smaller than other old postcards i have.. other than that, i'll say it's a damn good fake.. i have probably 10,000 other vintage postcards, and it has the "feel" of being authentic..
