Ebayer 'collectors' ripe for plucking

My response. Wasn't aimed in response to yours. Like you I see all the posts here calling out frauds on eBay. All I was trying to say is that I Personally would be very unlikely to publicly say some one is engaging in fraud unless I had 110% irrefutable proof.

I definitely agree with you in principle that the word is thrown about rather liberally, and at times, it's probably an incorrect statement. I think, in practice, however, many posters here do not fear the likelihood of a guy selling $5.00 junk reprints hiring an $800/hr attorney to serve a defamation suit. I could be wrong here; we do live in a litigious world.

I agree. And if anyone needs an $800/hr lawyer to sue some idiot on eBay please drop me a line.

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know what the "Big Book of Baseball Cards" is from which these "cards" were cut out? Searching for that title on Amazon, eBay, and Bookfinder.com brings up nothing, and if I google the title (with quotes around it) the top hits are this seller's eBay listings and this thread. Googling the title without quotes brings up a bunch of generic articles about baseball cards, with this thread further down on the second page. Not that I'm trying to defend the seller (though I agree that he/she wasn't overtly deceptive), but I'm just curious exactly what book he/she cut these cards from.

Probably put something close, yet off enough so that you couldn't buy the complete book and cut them out yourself for a fraction of the $$.

It's actually called "Great Book of Baseball Cards", unless there is a similar book.

My copy was marked on the dust jacket at $80 (when it was sold new)! Very cool book and a shame they are getting cut down for this. Very informative with many color photos for reference.
