Careful, BLATANT FAKE Walter Johnson

[danmckee]

The printed on paper cracking is a dead give away on both. Also as Barry stated, wrong back on the Walter Johnson. I have reported them 3 ti,es, no luck yet.

Unfortunately, no one has ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the American consumer, which makes regulation necessary, even though anyone stupid enough to buy a clear fake with an impossible back simply should not be buying raw T206s at all.

Before you do something and say something you DONT KNOW FOR FACT maybe you should contact me first....These cards were taken to a local deal and were stated as real by him, and he deals in this stuff....next the card conditions and information are true so please keep your OPINIONS to yourself

That was the sellers response when I sent him a message. He is either really ignorant or really crooked.

Does it have to be "either or" or could it be "and" ?

Well played my friend!

In addition to Ted's post #13 in this thread-- my Cobb reprint is slightly different. There is no C but the word reprint is at the bottom center on the back. Compare the listed Cobb with the attached pic-- especially the border above "Ty" and the "tr" in Detroit-- the fading is the same. Also look at the fading around the bat. The listing matches my reprint-- clearly a fake.

Sorry for the large whitespace in the image-- my first image post.

Almost every single E90-1 reprint (including Cobb) which you see on ebay will have a smudge or tiny paper loss where the "20" is on the back. That is the dead give away. The faked aging and wrong coloration are just icing on the cake.

Adam, they shouldn't be buying PSA graded ones either as SCP has had a few graded impossible back combinations in their last 2 auctions.
