Nolan Ryan Forged 1999 Inkredible Card

[thetruthisoutthere]

I don't know (yet) if the card is a counterfeit or not, but it is certainly a forgery.

Discovered these by accident as I was checking out Ebay seller Anme_47 (a seller of Florida forgeries and various forged/counterfeit cards).

I also observed the majority of these on Ebay are forgeries.

This crap is never-ending.

The forged one looks like something off an inkjet printer.

Yep.

The hologram looks similar to the forged/counterfeit cards I've exposed and the card itself looks "strange."

That's one fugly sig, I think I can do better! And even the little kids at school make fun of my handwriting.

I am a huge Nolan Ryan collector: he's my all-time favorite athlete, and one of the main focuses of my collection. As such, I've seen and obtained many of his autographs over the past 40 years.

That real one you posted above, is the first authentic Ryan I can remember ever seeing. Every single one of these cards I recall seeing has been fake.

I've often wondered if a real, authentically autographed version of this card even exists at all, as I said above, I don't think I've ever seen one until this thread.

Hi Chris,
Wow, this is one Nolan Ryan fake signature that you can spot from 50 ft. away it is so bad.

Unreal that people believe that this crap will be believed to be authentic

Steve, my own research tells me that his autograph on that card is extremely rare.
