Just sad. Personally I find it difficult to spend more than $100 on any single card for my entire collection. I realize not everyone has that type of budget constraint - but still - even if you were loaded and didn't care, why anyone would purchase a card that is faked that often in such horrible shape without doing any research is beyond me. Spend 10 minutes reading the history of this card online and more importantly - over the past year - and this becomes a questionable purchase at best. You see the same type of "questionable authenticity" auctions on '33 Goudey Ruth cards. "This could not be verified to be authentic, but maybe you can get it at a steal - only $200 instead of more than $2,000!" I guess I just can't believe that people actually go for that, but apparently they do.
