1906 Lincoln Publishing postcards
 
Did anyone else here win any of the Lincoln postcards in the eBay set break a week ago? I won two and just saw that they didn't pass inspection and am being issued a refund. Haven't heard anything yet about what the issue was.

Not sure I'm glad I didn't see these or not. But I just looked. Pretty sure that was Ryan's set that just sold in ML. IMO prices for the most part were steals. Would also love to know why they were rejected.

I imagine eBay being annoying with listing categories again. I would reach out and contact Probstein.

The listings have "Sports Trading Cards" in the type spot, I am betting as these are postcards the morons rejected for description.

One of the reasons the system is massively flawed as you risk this nonsense or you have to list in a category with little views that doesn't really apply to the hobby. The buyer should possess an option for completing the deal no matter what.

I don't think it was a miscategorization. I purchased an R316 Kashin 5x7 that was "mis"-characterized as a baseball card. Ebay refused to authenticate it, but allowed the sale to go through.

I would hope that you can contact the seller directly and purchase the cards off ebay. I fell just short of winning the Mack, and would be happy to own it without ebay's approval.

Ah, that seems likely. If son that's really disappointing. And when I click to view details it indicates that I requested a return. Sure, eBay, blame me.

Whole thing smells fishy to me

Yup, it’s my old set. I never look at eBay so had no idea these got (re)sold. Whoever sold them lost their ass, and they deserve it breaking up an impossible complete set like that (what a shame)- the complete sold in Memory Lane for $18,830. The aggregate price of the Probstein set break was $15,250.

eBay blows.

I had them on my watch list.
Strange you're getting a refund back.
I've bought many graded postcards miscategorized and "failed inspection" but they all were still mailed to me.
