The same seller who recently auctioned off a honus wagner with red hindu back is now selling a Cobb / Cobb Back (on a green cobb with a black back). |

When the bidders names are hidden, you can't know what was the sell price on these kinds of items. Someone who would sell a fake with deceptive description could also be a shiller. In fact, with hidden ids and dubious prices, you can't be sure there was a single legitimate bid. |

From what I can tell, most of the reprints that sell for higher dollar amounts are simply shill bidders anyways. What is sad regarding the whole reprint market on Ebay is Ebay has no incentive to ever remove the listings because it is a very healthy revenue stream. |

I've done my part with a long email to ebay asking them to remove the reprints from the pre-war card section and detailing at great length why. I don't know if anyone else has done the same but everyone bitches about it around here but very few actually do anything about it, vis a vis letting ebay know. It probably won't do a damn bit of good but at least if enough ebayers send emails they might actually consider a separate category for reprints. Of course this doesn't address the other issue, the scammers and weasels who don't even bother stating their cards are fake, but at least it would get rid of the deluge of "sold as a reproduction even though I don't see the word reprint on it" and "sold as a reprint because ebay says it has to be graded" and "sold as a reprint priod" cards. |

TBob _ I let ebay know about it for quite a while before I started bitching about it on the board. It was ebay's lack of response that caused my frustration. |

The seller says "I am selling it as a reproduction even though it doesn't show any signs of being one." |

Three simple rules for newbie eBay bidders (and by 3 I don't mean the only 3): |
