If anyone has a card they want to check against auction records at Worthpoint or anywhere else, or wants the community to help check, we need at a minimum, the auction date (when you purchased it but preferably when it was first sold) and the back type. This is to narrow down the immense amount of cards in the search results. It gets the results down from around 1,000 to a more manageable 2-300.

Purchased my first signed T206 at REA a month ago - 10/28/18. This has a Piedmont 150 back. Any concerns with this one?

I feel terrible for collectors impacted by this. There is just so much fraud in the hobby.
This board is just amazing with the detective work by members to try and stamp out scammers.

Is there a cert date for the autograph authentication?

Checked the PSA website and it did not display the date that the card was authenticated. Also searched several serial numbers surrounding this cert number and none had dates. Is there a certain date range to be wary of?

If we could only track this account down, it will have a list of all the cards he purchased around this same time period. It could reveal his entire body of work. |

Can't we simply ask the Seller "Who purchased this card from you?"
|
#11

Yes, but they may be reluctant to give out that information. I'm just surprised that one of the sellers here hasn't checked their feedback to see if they sold to the identified bidders. Although that may mean the bidder reads this forum and avoided sellers that post here.

Not to point out the obvious, but it's amazing the only reason this guy got caught is because he was using lower grade encapsulated cards that could easily be traced.
Why somebody skilled enough with forging who was able to get away with this for several years wasn't digging up easily obtained lower grade raw versions of these same players I'll never know. It's almost arrogant. Could only imagine how many of these are out there that will never get matched up with the original card. Also, this thread has got me thinking it's about time I stopped being cheap and finally signed up with Worthpoint. |

Just plain greed. A passable looking raw card might go for a VG price or a little less to someone hoping for a VG or VG-Ex if they're lucky. A graded 10 will usually be less. |

Sorry guys, couldn't help myself. Some mildly NSFW language and probably not the classiest thing I've ever done.

Ok the authorities have been told but are they gonna do anything? Coaches corners have been selling fake autos for many years and the authorities could care less. And im sure they've sold a lot more dollar amounts in fakes then what the T206s have sold for.

I think this is different than CC. Here there is rock-solid proof that the T206s were signed within the past few years. Unless the forger's lawyer is Perry Mason, he will have a doozy of a time getting out of this one.

The irony of all this is that a bad signature in a slab is more marketable, and therefore more valuable, than a genuine signature raw. I'm not sure if the goal is to get it right, or simply to keep the market running smoothly.
And it's the same with baseball cards. An altered card in an 8 holder is worth a ton, while an unadulterated raw card is almost impossible to sell. It's an amazing state of affairs. |

I'm glad I only paid $5.00 for my Bob Feller autograph or I would have had to leave the room before it was over.

Hmmm, I guess SGC stands for Sacred Grading Cow. Didn't they slab 8 of these before going to auction? PSA slabbed 1. Reminds me of the old NCAA joke headline: "UNC cited for 100 recruiting violations: UNC-Greensboro being put on probation."

Hahaha. I love those stupid borders too.
If I was one to submit cards for grading, this would certainly be the end of that. I feel lucky to prefer raw cards. I invite others to join me in not collecting scared.

“It’s okay. He doesn’t know Elmer Flick was your Dad.” So funny! Thanks for making this!
Ha! I’m not the only one who thought there was pure comedy in this line!
