FGA grading

Not only did they "grade" this counterfiet card, they also made up a name for it as well image..."Type 2"

What makes this one fake is the absence of the BK logo that should be on the top right corner of the card.

    This seller isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer ....

    Here's his MBG from his other auctions:

    Money Back Guarantee – If you receive the cards and they do not book for at least 5 times current book value I will refund your money AND you can keep the cards!!!!

    Does that make any sense or did I read it wrong?

    Well since FGA won't be listed in any price guide, he keeps the money and the buyer is stuck with the card...lol

    Are you aware that this a a known fake card? The only real versions of these have the BK logo in the top right corner. I would end this auction and get a refund from whoever you got this from. Notifying eBay's fraud department as I type this. Also stick with real grading services.


    Sent him the above message via eBay. I wonder if the assclown will actually listen? I am guessing he will respond to me with a go to hell and I am blocked from his auctions type of response.

    There are actually a few different fakes of this card out there. The other one has the BK logo but is missing the "tm" next to the bk logo and the gators logo

    He responded.

    "Dear Internet Tough Guy,

    First of all read eBay's policy on reprints, you ARE allowed to sell them. Second of all mind your own business. Third, I will use what ever grading company I want. Last, don't even look at my auctions from this point forward. "


    I see his auction outright states now that it isn't an original. Nice.
  • FGA is Roger Hooper's grading company. He founded and owned it and probably printed that mysterious type 2 card and slabbed it himself.

    Too bad he states:

    It MAY be a REPRODUCTION. Not it is a reproduction.

    Slime ball.

    Good for you.

  • yes, that's the same Roger Hooper we have been hearing a lot about lately. He used FGA for all of his fakes in 2002.

    What a joke

    I see most of his auctions were removed. Now he is selling the above "grab bags". Isn't this against eBay policy to do in the normal categories? Also this is such a great deal that he can't even tell you how many cards you might actually get. You may get 3, you may get 30 who knows!


    Does this POS read these forums???

    If so congrats on your auctions being removed and I look forward to this one being removed also.

  • So basically the moral of the story is FGA grading is the suck...
