True Madness

In September I posted about a seller with 0 feedback selling a GAI graded Sweet Caporal pack with a Honus Wagner card showing. The pack sold for $3000.02. Two days later he sold an ungraded sealed pack with Honus Wagner showing for $550.00 and three days after that he sold an opened Sweet Caporal pack with a Sovereign (WTF?) Honus Wagner (insinuated that it came from the pack) for $178.05. In less than a week he made almost $4,000 and I’ve been watching the guy since and he still has no feedback, which seems odd.

If you look at the original auction for the opened pack with the Honus Wagner, the description was just copied from the GAI graded pack auction but if you look at the third picture you see the back of the Wagner and at the bottom it says reprint, so a buyer spent a lot of money for an opened pack of cigarettes and a reprint card.

None of this is as bad as this seller. The guy has three Honus Wagner T-206 cards (Two Piedmont and a Polar Bear) ranging from $40k through $90k and in the description says he is selling it as a reprint but may be real. Ignore his 3 negs saying he is selling fake/reprints. 

The other that was on my radar, the 1909 T-206 Honus Wagner graded PRO 2, that sold for $1,850 on September 13^th was relisted a week later at $1,7000, then $999 and it finally sold last week with an accepted offer of $500.
