Fake World Series Pins

[WillowGrove]

I'm glad you posted about these Shoeless and that you contacted ebay Wrapperguy. I saw them recently too - and had this exchange with the seller.


ME1: Das sind wundervolle alte Stifte! Wie lässt du aussehen?sie aussehen?
aussehen??Kannst du einen für 1939 Cincinnati Reds machen? Vielen Dank

harsenm_nn:1: You can write in english, I am afraid I don´t understand the translation

ME2: haha okay. I will. I say these are wonderful pins. They look old - can you make one for the 1939 Cincinnati Reds? thank you.

harsenm_nn2: What do you mean; I don´t make pins, I trade them

ME3: But aren't these made to look old? I assume you make them as they arent the actual pins that were issued for the games.


harsenm_nn3: no, they are not made to look old bud...

END OF EXCHANGE

When I did a google search for the image on his ebay profile I seem to get a stock photo of sorts....

I'm not sure why if he thinks they are real, he is so happy selling them for thousands less than they are worth. Sigh.

Just another reason to say screw this hobby. Unfortunately, karma doesn't always catch up to people. It'd be nice to just put all these a-holes in a room together and let them beat each other down. What might be unfortunate is that the shady guy from the south side would probably put together his dream team of a-holes and really screw this hobby up worse than it already is...
