Once, many years ago, I bought a group of cards from a guy on eBay that he was trying to pass off as authentic. Typical T206 reprints - bad O'Hara, bad Plank, bad Cobb Bat Off, that sort of stuff. It was back in the day when you could see who the bidders were, and there were a bunch of people bidding who were newbies. So I decided to win it, to keep it out of their hands.
In the pile of cards I got was a true blue Cy Young Portrait, along with a handful of commons. Wasn't in the scans! Total gift. I think the lot cost me $50.
