Obviously they won't fool the collectors here, but they certainly did fool some nieve buyers on ebay.
And Scott and King I am surprised at you guys,, Chris has done as much or more than anyone I know in this hobby to try to fight forgeries, be they obvious ones or ones that are more difficult to discern.
What harm was done by pointing out these forgeries?
I also wanted to mention that the seller (Vintagecards1) had a total of 20 autograph cards listed; I only posted five of them. One of them was a horrific Nellie Fox that had a high bid of over $100.00. And in the end, they were all removed.

+ 1/2

Plus one for Chris posting them, but minus a half for ebay removing them in the end. So it was all kind of a moot point. But then again, a potential future watchout. Thus, the assignment of just a "half point".

Don't worry Chris. CC won't be outdone. My source told me they just got a box of 12 balls from the Jim Creighton private signing. They are dated and all too. Great to have those enter the hobby next month.

I will give Chris his props, though. Unlike some others, he's not afraid to name names.

David, I don't know what your agenda is here with your comments, but have you ever read Richard's website?

I don't understand this one Perez. Why minus half to ebay for removing them? They saved a number of buyers about a thousand bucks or so. I would be praising ebay for the work they have done for the last few months. Many bad items are vanishing every day, including very high priced ones.

Oh sorry... What I meant is that it's GOOD that ebay removed it. But ebay's removal rendered the thread a bit less relevant (since the seller was shut down). Just a rather weak joke, in an attempt to poke fun at the whole +1 / -2 thing. I had never seen fractions used, so thought I would be the first.

Ok, I just wanted to clarify that.
btw - the seller has not been shut down, just had his bogus autgraphs removed. Though it is my understanding that if a bogus seller has his items removed and then attempts to relist them, that is grounds for shutting a seller down permanently.
