Any chance these cards are legit?

[swschultz]

I came across this set of cards for sale. Any chance these are real?

The guy wants 4K for the set. They were supposedly left in the house of his Grandfathers, though he thinks they were owned by the doctor who lived there prior to him.

Here is a list of the complete set:

1909 AMERICAN CARAMEL TRIS SPEAKER
1909 SOVEREIGN CIGARETTES TY COBB
THE TRIBUNE GROVER ALEXANDER
THE TRIBUNE WALTER JOHNSON
1909 T206 ED PLANK OLD MILL
PHILADELPHIA CARAMEL HONUS WAGNER
PHILADELPHIA CARAMEL ED PLANK
AMERICAN CARAMEL CHRISTY MATHEWSON

It's just a question, so please don't shoot me for asking. I was only able to attach 5 images. I have the rest, as well as the backs.

Thanks for your input.

The doctor had the good luck of only having Hall of Famers I see.

They all looked to me like they had been run through the same washing machine! :-)

[HRBAKER]

I thought maybe the doctor kept them in an aquarium.

Unfortunately, all five of those are fake.

Not a chance.

Not only fakes but really poor ones at that.

Certainly no harm in asking... glad you did. Run from those as quickly as possible.
