More FAKES being sold as REAL

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Pennsylvania Ted</b><p>Check out Ebay lot #8711951555....1949 Satchell Paige<br />and the other lots this seller has listed.<br /><br />Here are more REPRODUCED cards from the same "source"<br />as the one Travis brought to our attention a couple of<br />days ago. However, this time the cards are major stars<br />from the late '40s to the '60s. The seller could possibly<br />be the same guy, but he is going by a different "name".<br /><br />The pattern is the same....Private bidders & very short<br />bidding interval (3 days or less). And, these cards, he<br />claims are graded; however, I have never heard of this<br /> pseudo-Grading outfit.<br /><br />As I noted on Travis' thread, these FAKES are very accu-<br />rate reproductions. I would not be surprised if some of<br />these cards pass thru the scrutiny of an overworked,<br /> new-on-the-job Grader. <br /><br />

Actually, if you only have some of the above four factors, you probably have a scam in progress.
