I am not selling this card and or the people selling so that’s why I was asking. I have no shame saying I am new to collecting baseball cards (I did when I was a kid). I collect other items just not cards.

Thanks,

Might I respectfully recommend that you start off with something a little less ambitious? Or if not, always, always buy a graded card in a third party slab (PSA, SGC, BVG). There are no shortcuts or bargains out there, just an endless supply of crooks trolling for people with money and no expertise. Anyone selling a raw marquee card that could be sold for a small fortune slabbed is 99.99999% certainly pulling a scam.

Thanks. I appreciate the reply. I am planning on going after a PSA 3-4 graded Ruth Goudey but having a hard time finding one. I assumed this was too good to be true but wanted to ask. What I can’t believe is how many of the Ruth Goudeys are graded much higher from the non hologram PSA days or whatever. I have read through this forum and I am going to stick with the buying a PSA graded card but not buy it based on grade but looks as well.

Thanks again!

All fakes. The seller should be ashamed. He probably knows they are fakes.

Reminds me of Roaches', er, Coaches' Corner, the infamous AH that had scads of Christy Mathewson and Joe Jackson signed items every week for only a few bucks.

Really nice never seen before Plank P350!

A T210 Jackson!

Hopefully this can be shut down before it closes.
