T206 Plank reprint just ended

My thought is the winner will get the card in hand, examine it, determine if it is a fake (reprint) and they will simply return the card. They are only out a trip to the post office and $3 return postage. E-bay buyer protection will give them a refund no questions asked.

As I'm apt to say "It's stupid." The card, the listing, the bidding, the final price, everything.

Stupid things happen in the hobby sometimes.

I don't have any experience trying to buy or return a card like this. But since the seller listed it as a reprint, and that's what the buyer got, why would the buyer protection apply?

Assuming there weren't a couple of people putting in fake bids on this one, I think someone just got an expensive lesson in buying ungraded high profile cards online.

I agree with you 100% she did list as a reprint. But e-bay is all about the buyer now. They will most likely claim the item is not as described, and from my understanding if your not happy with any item you can return the item. There is a loophole in the system, it seems to me like that must be someone's end game, no one in their right mind would pay that amount. Just my 2 cents.

I wasn't aware of that loophole but it makes sense in this case. I can't imagine anyone would spend $700 on what they believe is a reprint. The seller does say they don't except returns though, and it would be hard for a buyer to say they received something other than what was described unless they can use this loophole you refer to.
