Do you know how they were distributed?

I do not.

Update on the Kayos. I listed my Toney for sale and it shot out the door in a few hours. The Williams is listed on eBay.

Any thoughts on the Boxing Ringwalk cards being continually listed on ebay by the same seller?

The listings includes a Donald Trump card that should NOT be part of the set. (song is not on CD, won election AFTER the set was released). Unknown card before the seller started listing the cards.

I'm not aware of any 2nd printing of the ultra-rare original set that was only released by only 1 or 2 copies given to 50 different media organizations for free give-a-ways. (maybe 75-100 sets produced)

Buyer beware on the Ringwalk cards being listed. The Donald Trump card is suspicious. Maybe a 2nd printing of some type, but no info from the company. Strange that only one person has these, and has a quantity as well.

Phony as a three-dollar bill. As are the rest of the Ringwalk cards being sold by that seller. Here is a genuine (mine) Mickey Ward:



Here is the Ward that this seller is offering:



2nd generation print. The lack of clarity in Ward's image and the oversized borders are the telltale signs.

These auctions are going to hurt a lot of collectors, IMO.

I figured they were fake. The "new" Donald Trump card was a tip-off.

The pure white borders/background is also a give-a-way that they are fakes.

Some buyers have paid big money for some of the cards.

[sthoemke]

The red ink is a lot darker on the fake Ward card.

[sthoemke]

The Rocky Balboa card being listed wasn't part of the original set, as well.

I hope none of these get past the grading companies.

Did anyone notice the seller name? Garbage Archive. You can’t make this stuff up.

[sthoemke]

Someone paid $1525 for a fake Tyson Fury at the end of August.

[Exhibitman]

Ouch…

[Exhibitman]

This latest fake went for $297.

Five of the Fury cards have sold in the last 90 days from this same seller at progressively lower prices. Does it really seem likely that Garbage Archive had five or more sets of these cards? Wanna bet on whether more are offered in coming weeks until he destroys the market?

[sthoemke]

I'd guess he will continually list as long as there are buyers.

Mike Tyson sold for $5.50, and Ali sold for $1.25, so I think buyers are starting to realize these are fake.
