This guy who wrote the description really has people believing that this is real when you know it is so easy to spot that this is a reprint....people are really dumber that I thought....

How is it fake? He says several times that it doesn't say reprint and his grandpa gave it to him!

Yes, but for $324...

That's kinda the kicker on this one.

Yeah, The seller with an too many times told story to make people think its real. Why not get it "rated" and increase the sale by 10x what he got? Because he knows its fake.

What always amazes me are the sellers that post this nonsense and then you go look at their recently won/purchased items and you see this. The card looks different in the scans but it flat out calls the seller a lying pig anyway.

I wouldn't be surprised if you had people bidding just to mess with the guy and no intention on paying. I've seen a few people who have ID's set up just for that. It was on another board but if I remember correctly, someone had an ID of "Ibuyfakecards". Of course, that doesn't matter anymore since you can't see the bidders name. In any event, these are the people that I actually HOPE get ripped off and someone says they never received it.

People are all over a Strasburg Superfractor... how can a Babe Ruth NRMT RC NOT be noticed by the collecting community, other than 30 bids and a "This is a FAKE" post on FCB...

It's true, it doesn't say "re-print" on the card, but that doesn't mean it's real.

blanning71 · Aug 15, 2010

yeah but Strasburg cards are shiny. This is an old gum card! Man it looks like a really nice copy! Maybe the dude isn't in to grading.

and yes I'm being sarcastic. I figure its fake. Especially with Rice finding the reprint that the guy bought.

Go click under his tab for "feedback left for others".

It amazes me that people don't do any research when making purchases like this. Unless of course they intend on doing the same thing.

Unlikely since the same reprint can be had for 7$ on ebay right now.

No big deal. I was just trying to figure out where it might have come from is all.

HA! I loved the edit. Did the value go up $4?

I don't really think anybody would try and flip a reprint after buying one at that price, just hoping that someone didn't legitimately buy one thinking they got a real copy.

JoshHamilton · Aug 15, 2010

It's not much different than buying a modern raw card and hoping it comes back a 9.5. Paying $325 for a card that could be worth $15k if real.

Granted, it's stupid and reckless, but the general principle is the same

zach · Aug 15, 2010

Nice reprint. The card stock is TOO white for an original
