There is plenty of worrying about Forgeries that fool people, as multiple threads can attest to.

I think its fine to point out something so hideous, as it speaks to the gall of some people , the stupidity of others, and the general apathy, since they are getting paid, of a major company.

Thanks for the thread Chris.

BTW: These are just my opinions, so no need for anyone to grab their ball and run home, or respond like a five year old. THANKS.

All of those items had multiple bids,,, multiple bids.
Obviously they won't fool the collectors here, but they certainly did fool some nieve buyers on ebay.
And Scott and King I am surprised at you guys,, Chris has done as much or more than anyone I know in this hobby to try to fight forgeries, be they obvious ones or ones that are more difficult to discern.
What harm was done by pointing out these forgeries?

Actually, I like the fact that Chris posts fakes here on net54. It's absolutely a great education for all. Everyone chill out a little, I'm not taking potshots at anyone.
Again, Happy Holidays to all and peace.

I also wanted to mention that the seller (Vintagecards1) had a total of 20 autograph cards listed; I only posted five of them. One of them was a horrific Nellie Fox that had a high bid of over $100.00. And in the end, they were all removed.

Nice job, Chris!

+ 1/2

Plus one for Chris posting them, but minus a half for ebay removing them in the end. So it was all kind of a moot point. But then again, a potential future watchout. Thus, the assignment of just a "half point".

Scott,
Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you by seconding Jimmy's point. These fakes are so bad they're ridiculous. Anyone that is foolish enough to bid on these shouldn't be buying autographs, period.
Happy holidays,
Scott

Thank you, Richard, and Scott (GrayGhost).

Count me in as part of the folks that appreciate every one of these threads and posts that point out fraud, scammers or bad material. I guarantee they help folks that you might not even know they have helped. I know because I get the emails. I say keep them coming.....and thanks again to everyone that tries to help. I always say, you can't help everyone or everything, but you can try. What comes around goes around and karma is a beyatch.... .

For those that say they (the easy ones) shouldn't be pointed out, you have a right to your opinion too.
