Default CAREFUL, well done FATIMA FAKES

Posted By: D Brown

I'm pretty sure that the Fatima seller is the same guy that sold this Brooklyn 'real photo' last year --

[or http://tinyurl.com/6p822l]

If I remember, he was in Florida, too. Same scam, calling photos photos and implying they are vintage, and applying aritifical ageing to them. (But I didn't save any of this auctions -- did anyone else?)

On the Fatima, I think his mistake is saying "tobacco card," which it clearly is not, it's a reprint with a Fatima back printed or stamped on. Even if he doesn't say it's vintage.
