Ty Cobb 1911 D304 General Bakery, "Star Breads" Card

[Skrubinski]

The bad part is that I didn't try to get anything by anyone. I asked a simple question. Cards are being graded by experts not wannabes

[Skrubinski]

So pound salt

These are real too:

Now those are rounded corners.

Steve,

You, of course, would rub our noses in the final product, slabbed and graded, but will you man up an admit when we are proven 100% correct? (because we are).

[Skrubinski]

Not planning on doing either. Some already graded and yup I can state without exception that the ones already graded are not fake but as I only joined to ask a simple question and the responses have not at anytime provided the answer best of luck. I have nothing to prove to anyone on this site.

Gee....I feel s-o-o-o-o-o-o-o used

Suddenly, they are graded? If that were true, you would have posted scans of the slabs to rub our noses in it. Has Adrian slipped past Leon?

Take a second and read post some are graded yes but not final so I don't have in my hands but whatever. What a waste of my time to ask a question. Glad I'm not relying on this group to get real answers

The bad part is that you have fake cards. The good part is that we're laughing at you and your fake cards.

Absolutely not trying to bust your balls but the reason people started to take offense to your posts and started getting snippy with you is when you started taking potshots at this forum and saying only those who touch the cards, local dealers, and grading companies are the true experts. Myself and any number of the "experts" on this forum have literally dealt thousands of these cards in out lifetimes and to say some local card-shop owner knows more than the least knowledgeable guy here is laughable at best--those guys may know the best Robinson Cano rookie but not this type of stuff. We can literally spot fakes like these from a mile away. Guess where the grading companies come when they don't know a particular set? Guarantee they go to someone that calls this site home!

Just as an FYI, a true vintage find will almost NEVER have cards that range in age from 1910 era to the mid-1950's, that and where are the commons? The biggest red-flag EVER when looking at cards at future estate sales is the following... for every Mickey Mantle, Ty Cobb, or Babe Ruth there should be equal numbers of Carl Willey, Davy Jones or George Earnshaw's! If you only find big names from all different eras. from different sets, all with equal amounts of wear to corners it shouldn't pass the initial smell test.

Again, not trying to bust your balls, just giving you some insight for future reference.

Worst mistake for anyone is to ask a question of anyone on this site. You might know what your doing but I doubt any of you can do what even seasoned professionals can do grade by poor picture

Who are these "seasoned professionals"? The young kids that grade for PSA and SGC? You can't really be serious. The people on this forum have more knowledge in their little fingers. Also, what you posted wasn't as "poor" of a picture as you are letting on... every single red-flag imaginable is in every one of your pictures you have posted, go re-read my post as it is obvious you didn't read it to begin with. The later pictures are even worse (and even more fake)!

You literally have a group of the most knowledgeable pre-WW2 baseball card collectors on the planet right here and you keep taking pot-shots at them and then feigning that you were totally innocuous when you came here and everyone is just ganging up on you.

Tip of the day for you... when confronted by someone who knows a hell of a lot more than you do... shut up and listen!

Edited to add: I'm calling "bull-crap" on you claiming any of the cards you just posted were graded! You have scanning capabilities so prove me wrong. What you have is the garden variety vintage card scam that many people fall for that aren't well-versed in the hobby, nothing to get bent out of shape over as you said you weren't out much money but me thinks thou doth protest too much...

Finally some juicy read
