T213-1 Coupons on ebay yesterday (29 Oct 17)

[greco827]

The Hindu looks obviously miscolored, but what was the tip-off on the Coupon backs? I'm trying to educate myself on how to spot these?

Subsequently, outside of eBay, do the other auction sites vet these things? I.e., is it safer to buy raw cards from Sterling, Heritage, etc.?

Ebay vets nothing. It doesn't matter where you buy any of these type of raw cards you need to be careful. Buy from a trusted source is #1. The backs of these fakes will look a little blurry but are very, very good and can/have fooled longtime experts in the field. So far I am not aware of them getting past the TPGs though the big 3 have all handled these fakes recently and caught them.
