Are these cards from 1950 legit?

Dates seem kinda screwy...

Yes, they are legit. The set has guys like Cobb, Ruth, Gehrig in it...small cards but yes, 1950 is correct and they are legit

That seller is a real tool as well

So the card predicted his death? If that is the case I cannot wait to get a 2009 Callahan Albert Pujols Bio end....died in 2010 variation.

He describes....."Blazing colors" Isn't the card black and white?

If my memory from reading baseball card stuff when I was young still serves me correctly, then these were printed over the course of 7 years for the baseball hall of fame. First issued in 1950 and every year or so, the HOF would add new cards, until production stopped in about 56 I think. Thus, the issues from the last couple of years are the hardest to find.

Must be your monitor because I clearly see blazing color.

I don't think there's a card on the planet that deserves that kind of description, let alone a boring black/white one.

He actually has the same card listed twice on e-bay. The first one is listed at $499.99, the second one is listed at $299.00. Both are listed at BIN.

Positive ..... its old, 55-60 years or so

Negative ..... its a "Collector Issue" (ie TCMA, etc, and most modern cards.... originally purchased as a complete set with no product or service of some kind) = lower value

Sold at the HOF, Printed over many years in the 1950's, the short print players (only printed last 1-2 years) are tougher, but they are not rare at all (except the Happy Chandler). That auction has a crazy price, that card is usually a $10-$20 card. Think of them as Exhibit cards as far as value.
