Thanks for the post, Leon. Was keen on bidding until I saw the update.

Irony.

I purchased this T206 Hart from Tony on the b/s/t around 6/17/17, got it in the mail the following week around 6/23/17.

Within a week, I included the card as part of trade of T206s to Daniel for a T213-1.
Another net54 member (David F.) later purchased this SAME EXACT card (I'm assuming from Daniel) in late July or early August, except by this time the back was skinned and printed with a more expensive T213-1 back to it. David posted pictures on network54.com forum here.

Below are the before and after scans of the Frankenstein Hart ... no more than a 1 month turnaround for Daniel to turn a $30 T206 into a couple hundred T213-1. This isn't restoration or soaking or touching up a corner. This is alteration/forgery/fake with intent to deceive.

Probably child's play for a man with his talents.

Collecting raw, beater cards, I thought I was fairly safe from garbage like this.

Hey Mark, I'm curious: you posted this an hour before NJ started his thread about his scam. How did you know?

The story broke in Tobacco Row (the Facebook group) a weekish ago. He sent that long piece to one of the admins and the guy who did the detective work to put it all together.

Those are actually my cards on eBay. Jobu from here reached out to me and let me know about this thread. Unfortunately eBay won't let me cancel the listings this close to the end time, so I'll have to reach out to the buyers after the fact. I assumed these were in too bad of condition to be fake, show's what I know ...

I have actually met Daniel Desmond when I was in Socal. He makes up the biggest fake stories and tries to pawn his cards off as real. Last I knew, he was in Cathedral City California. Definitely would not believe anything he says or does as he is well known for counterfeit cards. I stand by my comments Leon as I got burned on a fake Ruth I got from him.
