PSA Honus boo boo

Frank,

Take my advice: Peruse eBay listings for vintage baseball cards for a half-hour and see what you find (including utterly ridiculous Buy It Nows). I guarantee you will see a large number of fakes being passed off as originals and listings with scans so blurry you cannot tell what you are bidding on. If you think that this listing is on par with those, then you're right: We see things differently.

As far as you linking an unreasonable Buy It Now price with being dishonest, I'm not going to even try to figure that out. Truth be told, my guess is you don't like the seller, which is certainly your right, and are trying to make this into something bigger than what it is.

With that, I'm done with this topic.

Take care,

Rob

...and yes, the cert is for Honus:

http://www.psacard.com/Cert/14442551.html

The ad could've read like this: "If you're at 523, and think you'll never ever add that elusive Mr. Honus to your PSA registry, don't fret! Buy my card and you can pretend that you did!"

the ad is a little misleading and the seller is trying to make a big profit off some noob& psa mistake, but i think he's giving half the money to MS so it's ok...

A good fake with a sweet caporal background slipped in would become legit in an instant, assuming that Honus had sweet cap backs,and if not could be a new discovery one of a kind. Since the cert is legit who could stop it ?

I'm with Frank. This guy has been around long enough to know this wrong. If the opening bid was reasonable, I would have disagreed. But, $195 for a $50 card? Either the person bidding is completely a sap or 2 wrong acts may become a third wrong act. I hope someone keeps the cert on file....

I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen with this one. As Rob had pointed out earlier, with so many fakes out there, now you have a legit cert floating around. Now all you need is someone to slip in the fake Wagner and there you go.

I just emailed Cosetta Robbins at PSA, letting her know about the card, and to see if they can invalidate the cert number and correct the population report.
