Quite honestly, I decided to put them up for sale because there is no way I could afford to get them graded if they end up being original, which I think they will. To be fair, being I'm not 100% sure I'm going to sell them all as reprints. If you read the description it explains everything that I know about the cards. Other than what I stated I cant tell you anything else. If you would like to bid feel free , if you would rather not, then don't. No hard feelings here either way. Like I also stated, you be the judge... I can only go by what I have been told by the person who sold the to me. Please re read the description & you'll see I was quite clear with my thoughts.. Have a great weekend & take care, B

Just deleting this to not bring any extra confusion 😃.

You know they're fake and damn well know if they had even a 1% chance of being real you would send them to psa or sgc. Shame on you. "Can't afford it" classic bs. Of course you can't, they're fake and you would rather them not charge you just to say these are all reproduced. And instead try to slip one by ebay on the off chance an authenticator is half asleep.

The above comment is the message that "I" RECEIVED BACK FROM THE EBAY SELLER.

All of his shit is fake.

I'm pretty sure it's a woman, although a man may be behind it.

Really I think they have no idea how eBay now works as I hope that CSG (even though I don't like them) better catch all of this crapola and refund funds. A better message to the seller would be explaining that each and every one of these is not going to the buyer and they will be paying it back. So they are essentially wasting their time completely.

I think we will start seeing less of this and more lower value fakes to slide under the review window end prices.

This is not a good fake, yet somehow it seems as though it may still be able to fool even a few Net54 collectors. I collect 48 Leaf, and I have the Paige. Once you handle the real thing enough, it's easy to spot a fake. This card stock isn't even close, and the printing methodology is wrong. But this is a prime example of why the hobby needs TPGs. Someone would be getting scammed with this card 25 years ago. Nobody is getting scammed by it today because of grading.

One of the BODA guys tells me the reprints of many of these are available on Etsy for a couple of bucks.

This unfortunate person will be saved by Ebay. How many ungraded/raw '48 Leaf Paiges have you handled ?Just curious?

Are we sure about this? I seem to recall a perforated Connie Mack Cracker Jack card that was a much more obvious fake than this, residing in a numbered PSA Slab.

Just sayin'

LOL you definitely should've mentioned that crucial bit of info. As you wrote it in first person. Apologies in any case.
