Lesson learned. Will only buy graded from now on...[/QUOTE]
Why wouldn't you just buy raw? From what I have gathered people are paying a premium for cards in a crappy TOPPS cardboard and plasticine holder when the actual card would be considerably less if bought without that holder.

Ask Battlefield...those low $ transactions fly under the radar but eventually add up to some serious dough

I've read this whole string and wonder if real T206s were put into the buyback holders, or was it fake T206s put into the buyback holders, thus more profitable (and not questioned for authenticity) .

In my original thread from 2009, I had all three stages of the process laid out. Not the actual switch, but both buying transactions from Ebay, then the "FrankenT206" Buyback. I had posted scans as well, but since then they are no longer in my original thread. On a good note, at least this time I didn't have to call Leon and interrupt his poker game. Remember that Leon?

Larry or Leon,
About how many of these tainted T206 have been sold over the years? 5? 20? 100? More? Also, am I understanding correctly that in at least some instances the cards themselves were altered in some way? Derek Hogue

All of the info was supplied to me by another board member but what was supplied looked spot on (obviously). I don't know positively of others but can only imagine. As far as I know a lot, if not most of the cards being put into the holders were AUT type cards. And on a lot of the before and after pictures, if not all, the after ones were cleaned too. That in itself isn't too big of a deal. All of other stuff is. .

I am still curious to know roughly how many of these were sold if and when that information becomes available. I hope that everyone will be given proper restitution and that Larry can find peace. I apologize and I am not trying to be nosey with my line of questioning ... I am just trying to take all of this in as information becomes available. I hope the number of these that were sold is small enough that the issue can be rectified.
