Bob Lemke wrote an article about FGA. It was founded for the purpose of marketing forgeries. They made fake Bazookas and I believe fake W517s. I had not previously heard of them making fake uncatalogued cards, but in light of their business model, I think it's safe to assume these are fakes. Hopefully Bob will chime in.

Default They also faked strip cards

Yes, there were a number of counterfeited strip cards in that scam-o-rama several years ago, though I don't remember ever seeing any fantasies.

I'd concur with the notion that anything in an FGA slab is fake.

Unfortunately, all my notes, samples, etc., from that investigation were trashed when I left F+W in 2006.

The bidding history of the item on e-bay looks very suspicious to me.

Default Adams Strip

Here is the Adams 'strip' card that I own. It was in a lot of cards, ungraded. It is on relatively thin but stiff paper. Even if it is, as it seems to be, a fake, would love to know where these shysters came up with the images used. Brian
