Gehrig & Shoeless Joe Ebay Purchase

Hi guys. Did I make a wise choice today with these two buys. I am having second thoughts.
I am hoping to get at least a PSA 1 on the two cards. Any experienced observations would help.

Assuming it is authentic, I don't think a PSA 1 is asking too much. But it is hard to tell from the photos. But, at worst, it appears you are out only $13.01.

"Common sense is the best distributed commodity in the world, for every man is convinced that he is well supplied with it"
that the cards are old. The description does not mention reprints and gives the impression
that the cards are vintage. The seller even indicates that more old cards are on the way.

I don't buy old stuff like that unless it's graded just to be safe.
So I admit the buy was risky. I guess I was rolling the dice. What
about the back of the Gehrig card which I have included. Its a
better scan to look at compared to the front. The back looks authentic.

Originals would sell for much more than that.

I realize that EVERY seller starting out has a low feedback score that deters many bidders/buyers.... but this particular seller's feedbacks from others would have raised a very bright red flag for me.
Check out these Feedbacks!!
2 different sellers; both Naru'd; both sent similar feedbacks using all CAPS!
Just doesn't sit well with me for some reason.
My first impression was that this seller was possibly in cahoots with the other 2 Naru'd sellers and maybe all three of them were Naru'd. And now this seller just recently decided to make a come back????

One was registered in RI; the same as the instant seller.
All three using numbers in their IDs.

IMO the subject cards are not likely genuine.
She has sold other similar items, too.
Check out the Cobb card that the seller sold. Doesn't it look genuine?

Like that gives them some sort of legitimacy.

Kind of like the "1860 Redlegs" that sold for $70k+ that was found by the old lady in California... it WAS on ebay with a BIN of $10 and didnt sell, so things like that do happen, although its rare.
Steve
It did not sell because she was inundated with emails from people that wanted to buy it offline.
NOT because no one wanted it.

Both are common Larry Fristch reprint cards and have NO value...
R333 Gehrig = reprint
(very easy one to see, borders too wide, edges of design are cropped, colors are off, back is wrong washed out color, etc.)
M101-4/5 Jackson = reprint!
one of the most common prewar sets reprinted (borders are cropped in design, gap between thin line around photo and photo is 3-4X too wide, etc.)
The seller seems clueless so I didn't neg him because I was just happy to get my
money back. However, get this he has reposted the cards back on to ebay and
yes people are bidding on it again. He has a Cy Young card up. Is that authentic?

<< <i>......He has a Cy Young card up. Is that authentic? >>
I am not saying this to be mean, but I suspect that eBay may not be right for you Tom.
<< <i>He has a Cy Young card up. Is that authentic? >>
After everything you went through with this seller already, what on earth would make you even think it might be?
Edited to add: I would highly suggest buying from only reputable dealers. Ebay is swarming with fakes, and it's easy to get ripped off if you don't have a lot of experience with vintage cards.
