Am I the only one who thinks they might be real? If not, they're decent fakes.

IMO they are far superior to most reprints. For instance the name uses the proper typeface and coloring - which is unusual. However, reviewing the admittedly fuzzy pics - I simply can’t imagine these to be genuine. Certain aspects of the cards such as coloring or 50/50 all around centering is just not aligned with genuine T206 reality.

The t3 certainly is fake.

The owner/seller has been researching these cards, and the card you refer to is a "big card."

"Big Card" is how collectors from "City" refer to T3's

Does anyone know the origin of that idea that grading companies will steal the card/coin/stamp and replace it with a common one or reprint?

I have to think it happened at some point in the past, but don't remember ever hearing about it as an actual event*

*being different from the occasional losing of a submission that happens.

I have not heard of that happening specifically, but perhaps others have. I have heard many instances of the TPG dinging corners, creating creases and staining cards' surfaces. Not sure they've ever fessed up to it voluntarily with their submitters. But I have heard a number of instances where the submitter noticed it, filed a complaint, and got some type of restitution.

I know that doesn't answer your specific question, but is somewhat related in concept.

Actually I'm not a collector. That's the reason for my ignorance bro. Lol... Mr big card collector man.
