What is your analysis? Real or fake?

I was ready to buy it tonight but changed my mind because I'll just put the money in my account instead.

Agreed. How is this even a real thread? Hahaha.

I'm confused by this one as well. Why would you think a common t206 in an sgc holder is fake?

As I have said time and time again, I couldn't see the dots on the face. That's why. I just wanted some help.

I'd say real. Don't worry if anyone is giving you a hard time. Legit question here.

Cravath is priced as a common, but he had some pretty good home run stats in his day. I would look for one with less back damage and honest wear. You almost always get a better deal if you wait for an auction as opposed to a BIN...Here's another BIN...FWIW...

You're going to save all $24.95? Just make sure you diversify.

My sentiments exactly. Less risk is good....

Leon I think I'd reallocate a bit if I were you. Reduce hedge fund assets to 15%, eliminate all fixed income positions, increase real estate allocation to approx 15% of portfolio thru alternative rental assets, shift at least half of international equity allocation to U.S. equities and anything remaining in international equities should contain a hedged dollar component.

My personal asset allocation is actually about 50/50 in two of the largest index funds with the least costs. I leave them alone.
My pie chart was concerning how to allocate the $24.95

[Topps206]

The thing that drew me to this was that I'd prefer to buy graded.

Nothing wrong with being too careful, Topps206. I'd also vote real. Don't mind the minor criticism or take it personally, either. We get sellers on here from time to time trying to draw attention to their auctions, so don't be surprised if a few folks on here are cynical or skeptical.

The nice thing about buying on eBay with your credit card is you can always receive the card and then look at it closely once it's in hand. Then, if you determine it's a fake, you can always return it as "item not as described". Good luck with your collection!
