sorry steve, i don't give links to live auctions after watching other members of the forum get chastised for it. the difference between a link provided to a "possible scam" versus someone asking an innocent question about an auction is a bit blurred and too fine a line in my opinion. |

Then how can someone answer your question without being able to see the card? It sounds fake, but how can we be sure? |

It's not real...so I don't see any reason not to post a link. If posting this link makes anyone here buy the card than they need to learn a bit more about them to begin with. But I don't know if the guy is being deceptive...all he really says is 1910 tobacco card. It should say reprint, sure. But it is particuarly a bad example...wouldn't fool anybody. |

It is deceptive because he should use the word "reprint." He doesn't even have one word of text. |

I would also think a Plank "missing letters" version would have to be up there with the Cobb/Cobb back. I just set my snipe...so we'll see how it shakes out. |

How many red flags can you spot in this listing? How much time do you have? |

Our objection to posting an open ebay listing is when the item is deemed genuine and appears in an incorrect category. For example a nice vintage photgraph of Cy Young in "Beenie Babies". |

i wasn't asking a question. only saying i wasn't sure whether the seller was feigning ignorance or trying to be deceptive. i've seen strangers appear in this forum for the first time with a link to an auction in their post and asking about the legitimacy of a card that was clearly legitimate, even to a child collector. if that isn't blatant advertising, i don't know what is. |

I think any "legit" auction with a real card shouldn't be posted on the board until the auction is over...period. Now if somebody has a "technical" question about a legit card, there are a few members here who have no problem answering private emails about legit auctions...otherwise, best to leave those alone until after the auction ends. |

If it deemed genuine and correctly catagorized it doesn't belong on here until after the auction closes period. That way there will no question that someone may be promoting an item in which they have a potential financial interest. |
