Fake Polar cards: The Prophet Speaks
Posted By: <b>Ryan Christoff</b><p>Okay, I really do not wish to waste any more of my time posting about these fakes, but I've had several collectors e-mail me about them. I wrote extensively on these in the original thread, which makes for some hilarious reading and classic Net54 drama, and I just don't have any more energy to spend. <br /><br />Since the opportunity to purchase fake cards of Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston, Jose Mendez, and Martin Dihigo has finally presented itself on ebay, I thought I would simply post a link to the original thread from 2005 for anyone who missed it or wants to read some more opinions about these "cards." Or, for anyone who just wants a good laugh. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/thread/1126062773/last-1135269895/Cuban+%26quot%3BPolar%26quot%3B+Cards" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/thread/1126062773/last-1135269895/Cuban+%26quot%3BPolar%26quot%3B+Cards</a><br /><br />The "Prophet" part of the thread title will make more sense if you read the original thread. <br /><br />So, for those who have e-mailed me for my opinion, here it is: THEY ARE FAKE CRAP PRODUCED FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF RIPPING PEOPLE OFF. <br /><br />Many others disagree with me and believe them to be real as you will see in the original thread. For those considering whether or not to bid, it might be a good idea to read all the different opinions and make their own decision.<br /><br />I hope this is of some help to someone, but judging by the $500 Willie Mays that sold, I think it may fall on deaf ears. <br /><br />-Ryan
