1938 Goudey Proof

[Al C.risafulli]

Seller is officially a dirtbag.

His first listing said he'd only seen one of these before.

The week after it sold, he listed another, and his listing said he'd only seen one other. I jokingly said "Is he going to list another one next week, and say he's only seen two others?"

Well that's exactly what he did.

There's got to be a way to stop this.

And not surprising positive feedback has already been left on the McCormick he sold:

"nice 38 proof!!! unique!! fast shipping!"

Here is "proof" of where the McCormick came from, in case there was any doubt of what these really are.

So now we can see where the fronts of the cards are coming from,pretty much figured out where the backs of the cards are from-GAI says they no longer grade cards,that was the "old"GAI-the "Goudey" is spelled "Goudy" on the flips,which makes you have to wonder if this was an inside job-maybe before they chose to stop grading cards,someone decided to slab the "fake-whatever-they-are's" and intentionally spell Goudey wrong so they can't be accused of some type of fraud..............the "decent" thing would be for GAI to shed some light on these "cards",even if they did stop grading cards...........

The person that is selling these cards happens to live in the same town as us, he is a regular vendor on e bay that also has sold under id disney123. He is a reliable dealer and personable guy although he is really is not knowledgeable about vintage cards. The fact that he is selling these frankencards is wrong but GAI is very wrong for ever putting their "new label" on this issue and I just cannot believe Mike Baker will not admit they made a mistake and take this off the market.

The seller has been advised multiple times that the cards he's selling are fake. He continues to sell them anyway. On top of that, he's being deceptive in his selling/listing technique with the "only seen one other" listing. Next week he'll list a fourth card and say he's "only seen three others."

He knows enough to know what he's doing. The seller does not get a pass in this case, in my book.

That said, the cards in the holders are fake. Thankfully, though, the flips are tamper-proof, so at least we don't have to worry about that. I guess it's just unfortunate that they're not water-tight as well.

Guess what! The seller has another one listed!

And this time, he's only seen THREE other proofs!

What a dirtbag, and a deliberate attempt to deceive.
