I'm working on picking this one up. Everything look right? The cert checks out and it isn't in a set

It's in a holder? Has the case been split?

High end Ruth Brady Gretzky and Jordan eh? Not bad for a Yugi-Oh seller.

It's gone. Don't tell us you bought it.

The guy with the fake in Hawaii says he just got his reholdered. I think something is missing.

His feedback is hidden, and he also has some amazing items.

Both cards are exactly the same. I reported them both to eBay.

How rampant are these fake cards in psa holders?

Excellent.

Hawaii guy has feedback on lots of big cards. It isn't hidden. Not sure what you are seeing.

It's a little fishy that both of the cards are absolutely identical. Don't you think?

One of them doesn't have the card, just stole a scan. Almost certainly the Yugi-Oh guy. More likely a stolen scan than a fake, but I wouldn't rule anything out. Yugi's was in one of the older 90s holders I don't think they faked those.

The cert numbers are both the same!

Yes, one is in an older holder, probably from an older auction. So Yugi stole the older scan. The card has since been reholdered, as the new guy told you.

You have to be very careful dealing with people who don't have a reputation if buying an expensive card.

Depends how recently it was holdered. The holo is pretty new. It looks like the new design holder before they started the hologram, to me. But I am not that expert about it, you could be right.

Here is a relatively new holder but no holo.

This is a card I want again, just better centering than this one...

As for this thread, hopefully it helps teach not to buy 5 figure cards (or any card of real value) without doing due diligence....

I think Pete and Leon have nailed it in all respects!
