eBay T206 raw individual auction - all appear normal?

[bobbvc]

Looks like they were scanned in penny sleeves, no obvious red flags on the few I looked at.

There are some short one's in there, not reprints though.

The Specs state Original not a reprint, so although returns are not accepted, the item would still be covered under the e-bay money back guarantee.

Oh, for sure .. I guess when you see nice looking raws sold individually, no reserve, few notes and no returns - you just wonder if all is as it seems.

Agreed. I too was wondering how, where, and why on these. Then I took a closer look and you can tell that they were scanned in a casing of some sort. A lot of very nice cards. It does appear as though someone is clearing house.

I agree they are authentic. That said in my opinion they are at best authentic, I believe each has been trimmed. Most of the trimming at the top as you can see the rounded corners in most cases don't continue naturally to the top edge as they have been truncated by the trimming.

Could be from an old school collector considering everything is graded about 2 grades higher than it really is. This seems to fall in line with the old raw graders that "graded" cards before PSA and others.

Saw them. Was shocked at most of the ending prices based on their condition.

I won one of them on Saturday at a reasonable price.

I admit I only looked at the scans on my phone and I thought it looked fine.


Just looked again and the borders - all appear normal size. I don't believe it looks trimmed or fake. The bottom border "may" be a little wavy, but it could very well be the scan.

I'll know for sure in a few days (assuming it doesn't sit in some post office for a week - as has been the case all too often lately)

+1...who wants to deal with the time and expense and corruption of the tpg'ers with common t206's anyway!!!!

Most of the ones he calls "EX+" are pretty much VG or VG+.

Were we really that bad at grading "back in the day"?
