What a shame..
 

Posted By: <b>Jay Miller</b><p>The cards look to grainy to be real, unless the scan has really distorted the images.

What a shame..
 

Posted By: <b>Todd (nolemmings)</b><p>Since I have no intention of bidding on this set, I did not look closely. Now that you mention it, though, the cards seem to lack the somewhat glossy appearance of the CMs. Also, it was my understanding that blank-backed CMs are slightly more difficult to find than the regular ones with the ad. It seems a little odd that this seller's entire set is made up only of blank-backed versions.<BR>regards..............Todd

What a shame..

What a shame..

Posted By: <b>jeff s</b><p>if this guy is faking c-m's, if he faked mint cards, he's gotta convince a serious collector (someone with lots of cash, anyway) that they're real. <BR><BR>on the other hand, if he fakes low-grade cards, there are more people out there (and probably more people with less background knowledge), and somebody is going to think they are getting a steal -- like the people who hit $250 buy it nows on medium-rare-rubbish. (copyright Dan -- i love it.)<BR><BR>This guy thinks he might get $8k out of his faked set, and hey -- that's not bad for a day's work with a copy machine.

What a shame..
 

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>About a year ago a dealer in LA showed me a very similar set he had picked up. Since I do not collect trimmed cards, I gave it very little time, other than to remark on how much it sucked that a kid had done that to such nice cards. The stock and gloss on what I saw looked good. Obviously, I have no idea if these are the same cards.
