I need to rant here. I have been collecting vintage Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggios and Mantles. I figure that I would get 1 relic card of each of them as well (1 bat card and 1 jersey card). Upon looking on Ebay I always see this guys auctions for a 1/1 relic graded by NSA. The ebay listing is 330399848619 (I can't figure how to link yet). Technically this guy is doing nothing wrong because he states that it is a replica jersey piece but still...Someone will buy it being confused. When they find out it is a fake they will try to pawn it off on some unsuspecting kid or adult as the real thing and now we have these useless cards floating around the hobby. I mean really 1/1???? If I draw a beard on one of my cards can I call it a very rare 1/1? Can we complain to ebay or am I just being crabby. Anyway, I need to vent because my wife doesn't want to hear it as she is trying to wrestle the kids to bed. If I am wrong here let me know.

    Oh yeah, I get it, it's an authentic replica! Makes sense...

    now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go jump off a cliff...

    I'm "sure" the estate of Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth would like to speak to the sellers hawking these cards.

    I like this one:


    YOU ARE BIDDING ON AN EXTREMELY RARE 1909 T-206 REPRINT UNCUT SHEET

    SOME OF THE KEY PLAYERS ON THIS SHEET ARE: CY YOUNG, CHRISTY MATHEWSON, CHASE, TITUS, CLYMER

    PLUS A TON OF OTHER HOF's

    THESE CARDS WERE PRODUCED IN 1984 BY GALASSO COMPANY

    THEY FEEL AND LOOK JUST LIKE THE ORIGINALS

    APPROX. SIZE OF THE SHEET IS 11 X 17 INCHES

    GREAT FOR FRAMING!






    So you mean the 100 of these sheets that I had around 1986 were Rare?

    I could have retired.

    Good for you.

    Thats the other thing. People use the word "rare" so often it is basically meaningless.

    It's all good, each graded by the National Security Agency.

    Skywalker-

    I see rare on so many things that are not rare, it's comical. Some sellers have it on every single one of their 1000 items for sale, AMAZING!!!

    Two things I love - he misspelled 'certificate' on the back, and the 'any tampering' disclaimer.

    I wonder how the misspelling got past that crack squad of authenticators. I stick at spelling but I am not trying to rip people off.

    I asked the guy on ebay about these cards and he told me that he is only a reseller, NSA is the creator of them.

    The sad thing about this is we know and understand they are fake, someone new or someone buying for a collector as a gift
    might misunderstand exactly what they are getting.

    With all that said he does say they are replicas so ebay I assume leaves him alone?
