The only clue he had to go on was was the scan and the bid history - from the bid history you could see that no big players were bidding on this card, which is a significant hint. Also, as long as the card is in a "normal" category (it ain't no secret, in other words), go ahead and ask your buddies what they think before you bid. Also, I have seen so many of these fake "feldmans" on ebay, that I immediately looked at Feldman's past sales to see if this was one of his - I'm surprised that someone spending this kind of money on a '33 Ruth hasn't been keeping an eye on the "Ruth market" on ebay. If you had, this would have looked familiar to you.
