FACEBOOK COLLECTION DEAL are these T206's FAKE? (EP 27)

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

STAY UNTIL THE END FOR A PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEKS EPISODE!!

[@DansVintageBaseballPC]

A lot of current collectors don't know this, but the binder sleeves they sold us back in the late 70's/early 80's left a sheen on the cards if they were in the plastic sleeves too long. When I pulled my cards from that era out of storage around 2003 or so, several cards looked like they were shining, including a 1969 Mantle. Years later, I bought a T206 McGraw Portrait from the binder of an older dealer at the Philly show in 2020, and subbed it to SGC. SGC didn't say it was fake, but they also wouldn't grade it and refunded me the grading fee. This year, 3 years free from the sheen of the binder sleeve, the card no longer had that shine and was subbed to CSG and graded this time. I think maybe those T206 cards should have received a second look from an experienced expert. There are issues like the brownish color of the name and team, and the dots in the printing that were not discussed on this episode that would have provided a more complete analysis of the authenticity of those cards.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Yup

[@whitesoxfancardcollector]

This was a good episode to help people become educated of fakes, trimming, and screw down problems. Well done.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

[@4thturnslider]

A couple of observations. You should be using a loupe to look at t-206's when in doubt. Smell isn't a 100% tell all on card age. Vintage cards in the east/south smell different than West Coast because of the humidity. There are 1000's of vintage cards that were in ice bricks including the SGC 9.5 1952 Mantle that grade fine. Lastly, the paper stock on 68 Topps is different than the 78 topps. Best way is to get digital calipers. Without seeing the rest of the cards, offer looks super low ball, but $3500 no way. I'd make profit on $1500 all day.

[@zachpierce641]

I don’t think they had doubt though. A lot of those looked off just on the video when he started pointing them out. He put his hands on them and knew the card stock was wrong

[@4thturnslider]

@@zachpierce641 100% fake. For those new to the hobby the best method to view is a 10X jewelers loop or your magnifying glass on your iPhone. Surprised there wasn't an Eddie Plank, Joy Doyle, or Sherry Magie error in the lot.

The 1959 homerun derby set has been my toe dip into the non-topps/bowman vintage. My psa Banks from that set is a favorite in my collection. And it's funny Mike pointed out the 68 topps Ryan feeling flimsier/thinner stock. I've always felt that when holding random raw 1968 topps cards compared to other sets from that era. Maybe they did use thinner stock that year?

Enjoyed the video had a question about one of the autographs that quickly panned by in one of the final clips?

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Which card?

[@matthewtulinski3481]

@@CHASINGCARDBOARD It looked like a negro league signed photo was something like that in the collection?

This is why grading companies exist to authenticate vintage cards. Anyone serious about selling these types of cards will get a few graded to show they are real

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Thanks for watching!

I talked to the same guy over Facebook on several occasions.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Oh?

[@centerhillcards]

It's one thing to have people say they will pay a number for a collection but actually giving you the money is another thing!

[@DEE-o4v]

I agree....I've heard that same shit on American Pickers.....Seller: Well, I was offered this 3 years ago. Me: Well, you should have taken it DUMBASS. This is ALL I"m offering YOU now. Take it or leave it. Rule #1 - when someone offers you CRAZY MONEY (ie. exorbitantly LARGE amount that is WELL past what the market is paying).......TAKE IT. I have and I have rarely regretted it.

A LOT of T206 cards were counterfeited in the 80s along with Pete Rose rookies.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Yup

Another great episode. Hope you sent Beau a chasing cardboard shirt after doing ur eBay video lol. Beau is a good friend of mine. Anyway. I always watching these negotiations from a buyer and seller side of things bc obviously you guys are both. I guess what I’m always curious about is what is the number you guys are willing to buy and what kinda margins are looking to achieve. I have a lot of football cards right now, 1800 cards or so and I’ve done the work and research to know it had a $1300 eBay sold for value on the low end and with a lot of those cards are free. I had a dealer offer me $200 for the entire lot and I was geez dude you need to make $1100 profit on my cards in order to buy??? I understand it takes time to list on eBay or hold cards that maybe don’t sell right away, but that’s every dealer. Hell some cards sit in peoples showcases at shows for years, I’ve seen it. Just curious from potential buyers out there, what % do you normally offer to sellers in order for the juice to be worth the squeeze

[@claywinn32]

I have a shop and really depending on what cards are in the collection,are they gonna be fast moving,desirable cards or more long tail,but just off your numbers of 1800 cards with a potential value of $1300,which sounds like a lot of low end cards,being less than a $1 each average,I'd be around $500-600,once again depends on the players in there, fast sellers vs. slow sellers. If it's just a handful of cards, say 5-10 cards I will pay higher than 45-50%, say around 60-70%. Collections take longer to process and go through so the margins have to be better.

[@zachpierce641]

That’s a lot of cards. Hours upon hours of work. You can’t look at it as just a quick flip . You have to think about the time you have to put in to that and if you have a bunch of 50 cent cards. I mean it could take years of those to sell. It’s not like you throw them up on eBay and they just sell the next day.

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Thanks for watching.

[@BlackdogCards]

$1,200 seemed like a low ball offer

[@BaseballCollector]

What would have been a fair offer?

[@CHASINGCARDBOARD]

Nah
