I saw a thread on the Collectors Universe Baseball Card and Memorabilia Forum the
other day that I just couldn’t figure out, so I am hereby asking for help.
http://cgi.ebay.com/t206-honus-wagner_W0QQitemZ220549588331QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Baseball?hash=item3359c7a56b
I’ve tried to put the link here, but I’ll also quote the pertinent part of
the description just in case the process doesn’t work (Imagine that, a blogger who
is inherently distrustful of all things that involve meandering around in cyberspace).
Anyway, the auction listing, which closed on Super Sunday, says that
the card sold for $650. And it also clearly, almost unequivocally, states that it
is a reprint. The text is below in italics:
T206 Honus Wagner card, in fair condition. This card is a reprint,
but it is such a good one, I can not tell the difference when compared to a known
authentic T206 card, as I dabble a little in these cards. It is an exact replica of
an authentic card, same size, card stock, markings, detail, everything. Actually,
I don’t “know” it is a reprint; I got it at a flea market (no, really, I did!), but
it is a Honus Wagner, and I’m not that lucky. The scans shown are the actual card
you will receive. Bid accordingly, as this card is believed to be a reprint, just
a really, really good one.
Huh? Obviously, here’s where I need a little help. The auction listing
says “no returns accepted,” and I guess that falls under caveat emptor, but why would
somebody pay $650 for a reprint? Even a “really, really good one,” a pronouncement
that makes me chuckle no end.
I must be missing something here. Any help?

John Kruk turns 49 years old today!
A man with one of the largest personalities in baseball during his playing days, Kruk was always a fan favorite. Although Kruk did not look like the prototypical baseball player, or athlete for that matter, he was as talented a hitter as there was in the late 80’s. In Kruk’s 10-year [...]

Congratulations to Paul Sherman who scored a 9 last week to Beat the Blogger’s total
of 6 and beat the field to win this week’s special Super Bowl edition of the Beat
the Blogger contest.
This week’s matchups are posted below soon so make sure you get your picks posted before
the start of the first game on Saturday.
Copy and paste our link and send it to your friends on Facebook, Twitter and
anywhere else so they can be a part of the action and we can boost our total list
of contestants, http://blog.tuffstuff.com/7thinning/
With the number of weekly participants slipping a bit the last few weeks I’m making
a call to action to all of our regulars to do some recruiting. While more people
means more work for the Blogger and more people for the Blogger to go up against,
I welcome the challenge and offer this challenge to you: If each player can recruit
10 new players and we can boost the total to 200 or more, I’ll triple the weekly prize.
So spread the word about the contest to all your co-workers, family and friends
and meet that goal and boost the prize.
Copy and paste our link and send it to your friends so they can be a part of the action, http://blog.tuffstuff.com/7thinning/
This week’s winners are posted below so check to see how you fared against
the field.
While I enjoy giving prizes to several people vs. having just one weekly winner, from
this point forward contestants will be asked to provide a tie-breaker on the week’s
last game so we narrow our winner down to one. Contestants will now b
e
asked to predict the total score from the last game on the list and the closest to
the actual score will be deemed the winner). I’ll also require contestants
to post their e-mail address with their picks so I can track down the winners
easier.
For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple.
The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his choices for the winners
of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest by clicking on
the “Comment” section below the post with the matchups and then select their
own 10 winners. You can also designate one of your picks as a “Doubler” and
you will receive an extra point if you’re correct so don’t forget to designate your
“Doubler” pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger’s
total and post the high score for the week, you win. The regular weekly
prize is an authentic signed 8-by-10 color photo of stars such as LaDainian
Tomlinson, Drew Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish
Hunter and many more. From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for
the weekly contest so look for special prize packages.

Tennessee at Kentucky
Louisville at Syracuse
Ohio State at Illinois

Tonight I took a few hours off of work to head over to Endicott to check out a great pop punk band Off With Their Heads. Every tune has a great hook, sounds like the singer is chewing on gravel – pretty sweet tunes. Here is my favorite song by them -…

Now that my Eddie Murray player collection is complete I wanted to take the time to show off my favorite 5 cards from this set.
Card #4 – 1985 Fleer
A posed portrait, yet so different from the other posed photography we were hammered with during the 1980’s.
I love this card. I love the look on Eddie’s [...]

I have recently gotten three through the mail autographs back, and I thought I would share them:
Anthony Ranaudo
I sent this c/o the LSU Tigers athletic department. Anthony is going to be a top 5 pick in this year’s upcoming draft and has a solid chance of winning the Golden Spikes Award this year. This past [...]

The local show was this past weekend and as I peered into a glass case full of autos I noticed this card. It was marked $25. Next to it was a Ryan Theriot RC certified auto. It was marked $45. I left with Teddy and ordered a pizza.
The card would be cooler if it said, [...]
