they are fake as can be. just scanned w/ redlaser app and scans do not match certs on flip. all 3 cards (this mathews, 54 & 59 mantles) scan as cert # 16997954.
not necessarily the sellers fault. seen this happen too many times. scammers approach consignors or dealers of cards/coins/collectables. sends them cards to sell for them, consignors sells them for a good bit but a fraction of what they would go for. consignor sends card to buyer, sends a couple of thousand bucks to scammer. buyer then gets card in hand and realizes it's a complete fake and consignor ends up forking out the $8K back to paypal/buyer.
alota times the buyer is the scammer. just a different account. buyer gets his fake card back and a refund of the $8K.
it's terrible. poor coin guy has absolutely no clue as to what just happened....just left holding the proverbial bag.
