Go to Yahoo auctions right now and you can see several fake 33 Ruths, along with the fake T206 Cobbs, Namath Rookes, Jordan Rookes, and just about any other high end fake cards. There are a few reputable dealers in the pre 1950's section of Yahoo, such as KenKeller and Mike Wheat, but many of the dealers are selling counterfeits. Yahoo doesn't seem to care, and allows these items to stay on even when complaints are filed.

Thanks to a few hard lessons learned, and the great expertise that is available on this board, I am not falling for these scams, but I am concerned about the people who are placing bids on these items. I go to Yahoo auctions ocassionally just to laugh at some of the scam auctions.
