Vote for Worst Condition Card on EBAY
 

Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>Thought I would start a new post with my choice for Worst Condition card on EBAY. In order to qualify for this award, the card must be below POOR condition. Some of us on the board, would describe this card as "Below Fisher Grade." Even Ben would give this card a thumbs down.<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4120644789&category=31 719" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4120644789&category=31 719</a>

Posted By: <b>Bill Cornell</b><p>My favorite of a few months back was Headless Rube Oldring, but the all-timer remains Wid Conroy, Employee Of The Month.

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>I would be inclined to vote Ben's T227 out, because of the distinguished nature of the set and complete recognizability and integrity of the player...I think the card is worth paying for--and isn't even funny (like ol' Brown-Nose Conroy). As far as I'm concerned, the rest can stay.<BR><BR>My personal favorite is the Carrigan (actually, it's probably the Wagner, but I don't remember it). There are very few E cards that I like in ANY shape (NOW what have a said!!!)

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>it's supposed to be a stamp, a T202 or a T205)--it looks phoney. Stock looks wrong.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>I can't believe someone actually met the opening bid. I've never been too concerned about card condition, but even that card is not worth spending a $1 on. I don't care if it is Cocc, Ruth or some other great player. The card is barely recognizable. And as Julie pointed out, what is it? A t205, a Piedmont art stamp, a fake? The wear is also very suspicious. Never seen wear like on a especially one that apparently looks like it was removed from an album. If this card sells, I guess can expect to see other sandpapered repros to the market as found in the attic in a scrapbook.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Bill Cornell</b><p>I think the contest is still on: the acid-washed "'33 Goudey Lajoie" got done in by its authenticity disclaimer, apparently. The listing is gone.
