I should have phoned the board for a consult. Instead I am out $20 and feel dirty for getting duped on them.

$500 for reprints of 100 of the top all time baseball cards is not really a bad deal though. Most of those cards, you are never going to have a chance to get the real thing.

Known counterfeit/fake cards should be destroyed so the next " Flea Market buyer" is not taken.. There are so many new collectors at the random Fleas that are just not too knowledgeable about Vintage cards..

No longer pertinent. And now we return you to your regularly scheduled thread....

That's exactly what I'm asking him to do. Just chalk it up to lesson learned.

The Ty Cobb back is real. The rest are fake.
What a shame |

In many years of hitting every flea market, antique fair, swap meet, paper fair, postcard show, etc., I've found exactly four prewar baseball cards, two T206 and two Pinkerton scorecards. One T206 was at the bottom of a box of other stuff, so the seller and I did not even know it was there. The other one, the seller knew generally what it was and priced it accordingly but it was priced as a Piedmont back when it was an Old Mill, so I bought it for my collection. The Pinkertons were at my very first paper fair, about 15 years ago, and they were priced at 10% of market. Other than that, nada. Lots of laughable fakes, though.

I would saunter back by their booth in the near future and see if they have any more "treasures" for sale... If so... bet they are some of the same ones...

I got taken for these umpteen years ago. Thankfully I only paid a couple bucks each for them.

One vendor said that he had bought a large autograph collection but didn’t know a lot about them and slid out a large box. I was with my son and I just poked around the papers. I am not fantastic on autographs but just better than a hack, lol. I look at everything side-eyed and use clues. Maybe just 4 minutes into the box I pulled out a perfect Lincoln Mercury Jesse Owens 5”x8” piece signed beautifully in the sweet spot and no personalization. I knew that piece well because it was on my want list. There was no doubt it was real and I asked for a price to see what I was getting into with this dealer. He looked at it and said twenty bucks in a questioning way. I tampered my excitement and said that was fair and kept digging out winners. Every thing was good in his stuff and I was overjoyed but mad I didn’t bring more cash. I spent the 300 in my pocket and still have most of it 5 years later.
