OT Indiana Counterfeiter donates cards to Goodwill?

[slidekellyslide]

Or maybe he died and the family donated his "cards"? Or better yet he went to prison and the family donated his belongings. Either way it looks like a whole crapload of Jordan fakes are about to enter the marketplace.

I've got my snipe bid in.

At least the Jordans are obvious fakes, along with all the other cards.

Ugh...up over $700 now and they've been made aware that the cards are counterfeit. Guess Goodwill doesn't care.

They've got their "no returns", "sold as-is", "call us with authenticity questions BEFORE bidding" CYA statements. No need to pull the auction in their eyes.

In all fairness, I don't think you can expect Goodwill to determine the authenticity of stuff like this. All they do is take donations as is, and then resell the stuff they can.

They're largely staffed with minimum wage employees or volunteers. In fact, some (many?) of their employees are physically and/or mentally handicapped people. Goodwill goes out of their way to provide meaningful employment for them.
