E105 Mello Mint Cobb

[Leon]

"Remember seeing these cards hanging on My Grandfathers bedroom wall for as long as i can remember."

Apparently this 53 yrs old ebay seller can't remember past the last few years...For the record I was told ebay is still working on putting together another program to help with fraud..The sooner the better.

I've had it looked at by local places, and they believe it to be authentic.

Yeah, then why doesn't he sell it to one of those "local places"?

Another specimen from the same batch of reprints is being sold on Etsy for $3.45 as a "vintage handmade item" and a "truly authentic looking reprint card". "All of my cards are antiqued to give that perfect vintage look." The same seller is selling a bunch of other Cobb reprint cards for $2.75 to $3.45.

If you look at the "sold" listings on EBAY you see several versions of these same reprints.

Heather Mayle in Orlando, Florida is listed as the owner of that Etsy shop. Apparently she works for Red Bull.

All the eBay sellers knowingly piddling this crap should go to jail. It's one thing if a seller truly doesn't know but I would guess that's a very small minority. This listing is just disgusting. What's sad is that I actually like some reprints for what they are. Used to love looking at the Dover reprints when I was a kid. They were honest reprints though unlike the junk floating around today. I really hope ebay cracks down on this stuff harder than they have in the past.

Check out his other items. About as authentic as the Mello Mint and a $3 dollar bill,

How about the wear pattern on each of the 4 corners of his Ruth strip card!
