Buyer Beware these auctions

[charnick]

just looked at two of the them, the gibson and the rose, and both are FAKE. typeface on the PSA label is a dead giveaway. reported. and yet, the jordan flip appears real.

that guy has some sick stuff for sale.
i hope for the buyers sake that mantle bowman RC is real, its up to $6900

i did see in his feedback that hes sold some super high end stuff in the past.

just happened to see this and just so happens this seller has a card that I and another board member are discussing. I passed this thread along and made him aware of this info.
May i ask you Charnick..more in detail on the fakes slab and why you suggest it so to better inform us all.

I moved this from the Ebay BST section to help warn more folks.

I agree with Charnick on this one. If you compare the slabs with other authentic PSA slabs you'll notice that the typeface on the "P"s in Topps look a bit different. Almost as if the oval part of the P is smaller/scrunched up. Other than that the slabs are pretty close. It seems far too coincidental that both of these cards exhibit the same atypical pattern in the P. When you consider this and the seller's relatively low feedback, I'd err on the side of caution and stay away.

The barcode on the Gibson (the only one I looked at) is wrong

That pretty much settles it. Not even the PSA logo at the top is the same. Clearly a printed slab. I knew something was fishy as soon as I saw the label.

The fact that the Mantle rookie and the Tinker Uzit are ungraded is telling. Also, I'm no expert on T206s, but the Uzit looks re-backed to me.

For a seller named premier cards, he has almost all his feedback selling women's clothing and accessories. Odd.

Edited to add : The gibsons are clearly two different flips-- the grade "Mint 9" is on two lines of one flip and a single line on the other.

Agreed on the Mantle and Tinker and the Uzit looks rebacked to me as well.

On the Gibson, if it is legit, it's possible it was re-slabbed. There is a huge scratch on the older one. If it were mine, I would have paid the $5 (or whatever the fee) to have it re-slabbed.
