Almost Authentic

Both the card and the autograph are correctly identified as reprints, but damn it they are almost authentic.

Maybe the TPGs should add a new AA category.

That is an authentic scrap of paper that the signature is on.

I also believe that those are actual creases.

IMO, the people bidding on the card aren't bidding because they are idiots. The current top bid is only $5, so I imagine the people bidding are either doing so because they want to work a scam after they acquire the card and "autograph" or because a real Walter Johnson T206 card is too expensive. If multiple people thought the items were real, the bidding wouldn't be at $5.

these types of items are just "deceivers" ......$5.00 for this pos is $4.99 too much....I can understand someone wanting something to have and can't afford the real thing, believe me I'm there myself sometimes,............but these types of "real" looking fakes always wind up hurting someone eventually.....when you get "burned" by some jerk eventually trying to pawn this off as the "real" deal..... when they get it to some poor sap who is not too familiar and buys it for like a $100.00.....he cherishes it as the real thing until eventually someone appraises his "heirloom" as a worthless pos someone "cooked up" because they couldn't afford the real thing....phew!
