Sadly no. There have been a few people that have been fading cards for years and selling them as rare errors. Hell many of the faded/altered 1958 Blue Hank Aaron cards can be traced to one seller. He usually has at least one listed on eBay all the time at beyond silly prices. Along with many other very obviously faded/altered cards listed at silly prices while being called rare errors.
