Following a recent report in Sports Collector's Digest, eBay has banned the sale of known and suspected counterfeit cards slabbed by Foremost Grading Authority, Inc (FGA). Many of these cards were from sets made between the 1920s and 1952. However, one seller was trying to move fake cards from the 1963 Bazooka set. Canadian Sports Collector has recently heard of the possible existence of a fake Wayne Gretzky rookie card graded by FGA. We will provide more information

I will 2nd that Pete! What a pain sifting through all of that pure junk to search for real items on ebay in those categories! I won't even list a graded card under graded because of the amount of paper trash that is out there.

One day you are bound to show up at someone's dinner party and see several of these little paper gems, resting on little stands above someone's fireplace.

Who here wouldn't grab their stomach, spit out their drink, and start pointing at the owner and laughing?

You can just say "Hey, that's cool - I own the books those were cut out of. I can get you a copy for about $95 if you'd like - it should have your entire collection in it."

Then, as you slowly lose self-control..."I can give you the name and address of the bastard that ripped you off as well, if you'd like."
