Lots of people seem to want fake cards these days?

yes...exactly...it doesnt seem to matter what the seller states...buyer can return anything it seems per ebays rules.

Wow, I was expecting to see the typical $40 bid for a bad fake but this guy has a $430 bid on a fake red Cobb! Insane. There are a ton of these fake Cobbs on eBay for way less than that. These buyers are idiots.

I would wager a fair number of the people buying cards like this are buying them to rip off someone else by selling it as legit.

People are desperate right now and they know the card market is hot. Its a bad combo for unsuspecting newbies and a perfect storm for scammers.

I have a feeling for that money the bidders think it might be real. There are just too many other T206 red Cobbs that are good looking fakes for much lower buy it nows.

So, as an EBay seller, you really have no say in much of anything then?

I was thinking, and still might, open an EBay sellers account just to sell some of my lower value cards or cards that I no longer want but the more I read about issues like this, more I get deterred from even thinking about it.

If you're just selling low end cards, occasionally, you'll be just fine. Go ahead and do it.

I don't know the first thing on how to go about it but I am still considering it? But at the same time, my friends son up the street recently opened up an EBay account so I am thinking I might just be further ahead to use his if he is interested?
That way it would save me the trouble and possible headaches but possibly help him by having more product and a more diversified collection of cards to sell?

He mainly dabbles in modern basketball, hockey and football and currently has no baseball, modern or vintage.

As long as you have bought some, it'll be tied to your buyers account to show your previous history on ebay, and so then you should be able to sell already with feedback.

I do have a good EBay feedback with "0" negatives or neutrals as I always pay right away/immediately if I am not interested in purchasing anymore cards from a particular seller.
This seems to make the sellers happy, which leads me to believe that some buyers delay or jerk some sellers around with payments? I guess I'm the minority in this regard but have always thought, if you can't currently afford to pay for something, then you shouldn't be bidding or buying, but that's me.

I will give it some thought but I will also need to set up a PayPal account for deposits. I don't believe that is too hard but then again, I am not sure how that works either as I have only used PayPal to pay for my purchases, not for deposits.

I appreciate the help, Tim.

Thank you.

I buy a lot of raw cards now on eBay but only from a select group of dealers I trust, mostly folks I've been dealing with for years.

The amount of positive feedback for the cards is disturbing, I bet psa makes bank grading these “authtct ?” over and over.

[sando69]

when i saw the t206 red cobb, i noticed that it has a piedmont 150 reverse and i REALLY need one for my back run.
so, knowing that jamie/blunder needs that back as well i decided to bid often and high.
am elated & proud to share that i WON that card for the bargain price of only $779!
am certain i can flip it for a HUGE profit.
congrats to me.

There is another clown on Mercari selling T206 Wagner's with Polar Bear backs and getting $1000.... Mercari still has not pulled them.

friend of mine has a mercari account and they don't seem to care too much about anything. it's like the wild west, counterfeits and whatnot are just expected i guess. and you aren't covered like ebay from what i understand - the ole buyer beware status.

as for the reprints, it honestly doesn't bother me if people are selling them for a couple of bucks. if there's a market, more power to you. my issue (as i'm sure it is with most of you) is knowingly having a reprint and fooling others into thinking they "may" be buying a legit card for a lot of money.
