    Uh, no
    Description says reprint

    If the seller thought for a split second that there was ANY chance it was real, he would not be selling it like this. He would have had it subbed. He knows its a reprint, and even listed it as such.

    And even with that disclaimer the card with 6 minutes to go is just south of 600.00

    Gecko you the high bidder?

    Uh, I know. I was more interested in the $650 winning bid for a reprint.

    You asked if it could be real.
    My answer was no

    The Q&A Section is hillarious. He talks about not knowing how to grade then says he would of sent it in to be graded had it been another player. I like the guy who offered the Jackson Pollard painting in trade.

    Call the police, some just got robbed! OMG $650 for that. PT Barnum was right. He says, It's a fake but it might be real, I am never that lucky but it looks real so I am not sure now. Where are these people when I have auctions?

    even a punched out pinhole to sell the scam better - ain't that so cute.

    Gotta give the guy some credit - he didn't sell a "card" - he sold a STORY!

    WOW...It even looks like a fake..is that a totally different back associated with it?
  • bishopbishop Posts: 2,917 ✭✭✭
    Maybe the Seller can turn this thing around by offering it for sale as "The Famous Fake T-206 Wagner Reprint That Sold For $ 650". No telling what that might bring.

    Frankly, in my opinion, it's looks to me from the bidding pattern as though the seller employed some shills, and was hoping to suck in a fish who would jump on the bidding bandwagon figuring it was a legit sale. It didn't work.

    Agree completely with SteveK...all those bids and not one from a bidder with more than a 12 next to his name. LOL..

    Stevek I noticed that too and thought that was peculiar.


    The seller knows/knew full well the card was a reprint regardless of what he said.

    (later in his description)

    If he thought he had a 500k + card he would not be selling it raw on ebay.

    Good for you.

    Saw the exact same thing last week on the hockey side: Bobby Orr Rookie The $12 shipping for a reprint card was classic.

    Yea, it's the clever con artist style of exploiting the ebay rules...state it's a "reprint" so the auction won't technically be pulled, and then the scammers figure they can then spew out any deceptive BS story they want.
  • onebamafanonebamafan Posts: 1,318 ✭✭
    That has got to be a shill job. Who in their right mind would drop that kind of cash for a reprint?
  • MorgothMorgoth Posts: 3,950 ✭✭✭
    Nobody would and probably nobody bid on that card other than some shills. I think ebay loves shill bidders.

  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    Yep the seller was hoping one legit person would see all that action and figure maybe, just maybe it was the real deal.

    After all 6 other people think that.


    Ebay has become scummier and scummier. Yahoo auctions were bad, but never this bad...

    Well maybe they were.

    i went to a very small local show 2 weeks ago and some guy had a wagner t 206 graded by some fly by night grading company out of fla.. i didn't even think it looked close to bad let alone good. same bright orange color on the background. the guy wanted 125k then later i heard he wanted 75k. he also had a real bad short/small 51 bowman mantle grade and some other t cards that looked auth. but were graded 1-2. they we missing pieces and looked like they were glued to a scrap book. he also had some goudy's i thought were bad. nobody really said anything to the guy, i really believed he thought he had real cards, he was there with his wife, a younger guy maybe 40ish. i wasn't selling only buying and didn't think he needed me chiming in, the guy who runs the show had me look at it and i told him it wasn't even close along with the other cards i told him i hope he didn't pay a lot for the cards himself. i think everybody knew not to buy anything that expensive, more then $500, at that show, really like 15 dealers, the same ones you see every show, except for this guy.

    just thought i would share since it seems to be the same card.

    Whomever is paying $650 for this card is a hero to people who pay $20-30 for fake 86 Fleer Jordans. One day, they'll be able to spend the big bucks on a reprint like that.

    (sold for $78,000 in 2001)

    Ive seen pictures of that card many times over the last 30 years. It is one of the most recognizable of all the 60+ out there.
