Jon CanfieldThere is nothing fraudulent about a T-206 being signed by the wrong person - that I agree with 100%. However, I do believe it is misleading and fraudlent to call a T-206 of Jack Powell a "1909-1911 T206 William Powell" when the card is not a T206 William Powell - it is a Jack Powell signed by William Powell. To quote the auction description verbatim, it says:
"1909-1911 T206 WILLIAM POWELL. THE CARD HAS BEEN SIGNED BY POWELL IN BLUE INK. THE CARD IS IN EX CONDITION WITH LIGHT WEAR ON THE CORNERS. THE CARD HAS A SWEET CAPORAL TOBACCO BACK. CARD IS WELL CENTERED AND HAS A CLEAN BACK. THE SIGNATURE IS BEAUTIFUL AND DARK. THE SIGNATURE IS GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC 100% MONEY BACK WITH JSA, PSA, OR ANY OTHER RESPECTED AUTHENTICATOR. T206'S ARE TOUGH ENOUGH TO FIND AND EVEN MORE RARE AUTOGRAPHED. Buyer include $3.00 shipping, insurance is optional $1.30 per $100. Payments are accepted through Paypal, Money order, and Check. Please email after auction has ended for total if an international buyer. If sending a check please write the item number on the check or include the invoice. All items will be shipped in bubble packages and are tracked. Any question, comments, or concerns please email, message. "
This is misleading and I tend to think that 99% of the people would agree with me - except for maybe the seller. Nowhere in the auction description does the seller state that this card is a Jack Powell signed by William Powell. This may not be fraud - but it is certainly misleading and borders on fraud. It reminds me of the commercials for Carfax where there is a car in the flood and the seller changes the description of the car from "slight water damage" to "NEW INTERIOR."
