    The guy even states in the scam auction its a reprint and yet it still goes for over a grand. Some people have too much money..........

    Not sure where he says it is a reprint. I thought he sez the word 'reprint' is not there. With that said it nost prolly is a reprint. However, at least 4 people were willing to gamble 500.00 or more dollars on it and 2 people over a grand.

    too many red flags for me.

    first off, if it was authentic, even in that condition it would fetch alot more. so I wonder why the seller did not have it authenticated.

    secondly, in his answer to a question he firmly states that no refund will be given cuz he never claimed it was authentic.

    lastly, the old I got it from grandpa story.

    Obviously a scam. Hmmm - if you have no conscience apparently it's not too difficult to separate a fool and his money!

    The common used phrase "Since I have not made ANY claim whatsoever that the card is genuine" says it all. Every scammer includes it in thier auctions.......

    Agreed. His reply to the question made it blatantly obvious to me that he knows darn well the card aint an original.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    << <i>I obtained this card somewhere around 1985 from my grandfather. I am very sure about this time period. My grandfather went to many, many auctions in his time. He originally was from the Joliet, IL area, but later moved to southern Illinois. I recall getting a small tin box from him around this time and this card was in it. I have no recollection as to what kind of box it was, and I do not know if the card was obtained in the Joliet area or in southern Illinois. My father knew a little about ballcards and told me about the card. We immediately put it in a screw down holder and it has remained in that same holder until this day. Over the years, the holder lost a screw, but the card never came out of it. It has remained in my possession during this time. >>



    They made these screw-down holders in '85??

    I agree as well, however, he never said it was a reprint. yes he did say he does not guarantee it being authentic.

    Yes, I remember screw downs in the mid 80's. some were home made jobs. around 87 all the supply guys had them.
