Ebay Auction Possible Fake

[edhans]

The Wagner is an obvious fake.

Definitely an authentic reprint.

Maybe the seller knows exactly what they are doing? As in, list some real but low dollar vintage cards and then sprinkle in a few higher dollar cards that are reprints and hope the buyers don't know any better and they get away with the money.

I know an auctioneer in my area who allegedly does this with "estate sales" that he has and I also think an eBay seller I have been after for years (with no luck or help from eBay) also does this.

If the card sells and the buyer doesn't know that it is a fake then the seller gets to keep the money and move on. If the buyer realizes what has happened, the seller gives the money back and says, "oops, I didn't know the card was fake".

I'm thinking the seller has no idea it is fake...and it is unequivocally phony as a $3 bill...otherwise why would he offer a 14 day return policy? Sounds like a headache all around to me?

Card looks fake to me. Tell tale description, " Dad bought the card ", usually raises a red flag for me. The questionable cards always drag in a family member or the estate with the description.

On the off chance the buyer figures it out to be fake the dishonest seller will refund the money to keep there good feedback and jump for joy when they do not figure it out. Probstien123 has done this a few times on misrepresented items like the Bill Russell autograph. Just one of thousand of different scams on eBay.

The user name looks like a womans name spelled backwards.
