Bogus Doublefolds on eBay

[Buythatcard]

The Fan Crazes are definitely fakes shown in the far right image below. The corners are too rounded and they all seem to have excessive wear in the lower left area of the card where the word reprint might appear.

The images on the left show you an actual reprint that is currently for sale on eBay. In this case the seller discloses that its a reprint. Lower left corner says "REPRINT". The corners are more rounded than the authentic ones that are shown in the middle.

Mike, excellent catch on these T201s. It's amazing to me how many fakes get sold on ebay.

Thanks Sean....I wonder what percentage we "out", though.....

He knew they were fake. I sent him a message telling him what to look for and I sent him a link to this thread. His response was "If you don't like it then don't bid.

I'm hoping the winning bidder is one of us and hangs the seller out to dry.

Ugh....so much for reporting the lot. It still sold for $96 +$6....for reprints. Someone is going to be pissed.....

That's why we take the time to post the bogus listings. Us Net 54-ers gotta watch out for each other.

For what it's worth I went through and reported each of his vintage lots to ebay. I let them know he is altering the card backs to remove the word reprint. Maybe if we all take time to report the listings we can prevent someone else from getting ripped off.

I am really thankful for all the honest folks we have here at Net54 who look out for one another. Thanks!

This seller still has several lots of aged reprints up that he is selling as originals. I have reported all of them to ebay with clear explanations on how to see they are reprints and they have done nothing.

I'd reported them as well after seeing the OP. Sad to see little is being done by Ebay.

The Dan Dee auction ended a few minutes ago and he already got a neg for them.

He's down to 95%. How long will ebay let him sell?
