I just tried to report him, I think he pulled the listing.
On a side note, I am really glad we have members here that look out for this type of stuff and know how to tell if a seller is trying to trick a buyer. If I was to try to purchase something like this, I don't know that much. I would try to do my research but may overlook things that other members with more experience have seen.
Thank you!!

Yeah, link is dead. Listing is no longer active. I don't know if the seller was willfully tried to scam people or just ignorant about the legitimacy of the card... But kudos to you for catching it and preventing a fraud.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Thanks. But just so you know, sure I'm an experienced card collector and I've spent plenty of time on eBay, but I am no expert at 1915 crackerjack cards. I've just stalked them a lot on eBay and realized I can't afford any. The trick is to spot when something seems too good from the get-go. This was a 1915 Ty Cobb with perfect corners that was ungraded and being sold by someone who had exactly one feedback on eBay. It clearly seem too good to be true and very fishy. It took me about five minutes of research, on this website by the way, to confirm that the posting was a fake.
If people just use common sense, they're not likely to be taken by a scammer on eBay.
Happy collecting!

Good job V3
Yes it is hard to find a 1914 or a 1915 in near mint condition
the 2 i have one 1914 and 1 1915. and if i were to grade them they would grade a 1
