Hassan Sign on eBay - Cobb/Mathewson

[perezfan]

It's nothing against Ohio (I'm still a big Reds fan after many years removed). It is simply in reference to the fact that many reproductions and bogus items have originated there.

I haven't monitored it as much lately, but for a while it seemed that every questionable (or downright fake) piece on ebay was being sold by an Ohio-based seller.

I'm sure that others who read this can verify, and perhaps even reel off some of those sellers' names.

For whatever reason Ohio seems to be where a large percentage of fakes and repros come from. The only fake E94 overprint I have ever seen came from there as well as an Old Put E98 fake. I think fraudsters clamor to Ohio for the weather, or something .

okay enough about my home state.

Anything else about that newspaper advertisement itself?
