Any thoughts on these cards? Has anyone ever seen them before?

I was thinking they may be cut outs but they do not appear like it in the scans. Jim.

I have never seen this before!!! Minutes after the auction ended I get this email from ebay and the listing just went poof. This is very bizarre. Did the seller get a better offer after the auction and was able to do this? Did ebay get a bunch of emails saying this stuff was fake and didn't act until after the auction? For those who didn't se it, the auction was for 5 cards that were advertised as 1927 Owen Sound players.

I saw the original post and thought that the cards were interesting, but I wouldn't have paid that much for cards from an unlisted set that may or may not be authentic.

Buy the deal with eBay is very strange. I haven't ever seen them end an auction after it ended! I guess it gets the buyer off the hook, but if you didn't protest to eBay then something seems strange. I almost wonder if the buyer didn't decide to sell them to someone else. I can't imagine why eBay would be so secretive about why they end an auction. If I were the high bidder, I would be contacting the seller and/or eBay to see what happened.

Let us know if you ever get more info.

did anyone save a picture of these? It sometimes best to save the pictures incase the auction is over and he takes the pictures off his site...

Should of saved the pictures.I have disputed these before with Ebay & they always defend the seller but my understanding was a seller could not end the auction with 12 hours remaining so I would go out on a limb & guess that Ebay may have shut this one down,BTW those are just my OPINIONS
