Steve fRC, To add to Joann's thorough description,
Galasso also reprinted T cards... Another method, some counterfeits are photos of real cards printed with 'high-def' laser scanners. Easy to spot these in hand, not so on a computer screen.
If you're unsure about an card, please show it AFTER the sale (but, before payout)-as a courtesy to those collectors looking for a bargain (me).
Incidentally, While most uneducated sellers will correct an auction when exposed, this particular scammer refused to disclose this or accept proof. Even when advised days in advance.
he replied with an immature comment I like to call 'the kiss of death'.
eBay stresses to sellers when listing, that 'iffy' or non-graded material must be labeled as non-authentic. This guy knew what he was doing.
