Leon - I understand what you are saying but I was referring to "great deal" in the context of the thread to guide the original poster. Someone unfamiliar with particular types of vintage cards is definitely not going to get a "great deal" out there. If it seems to someone unfamiliar with particular types of vintage cards to be a "great deal" then the chances are virtually 100%, if not totally 100%, that it will be a rip-off or scam of some sort. I am familiar with 50's and 60's baseball cards like the "back of my hand" and do a fair amount of selling and buying of 50's and 60's cards on ebay, and have recently been buying some pre-WW1&2 cards. But I still have a ton to learn about these pre-WW1&2 cards. Now if someone offered me a "great deal" on a shoebox full of T-206's with a book of $250,000 for a price of $5,000 would I take it? Definitely not! This poster should not take this "great deal" either.
