Things Are Not Always Wan't They Seem: Manning Auto

Well I received a hit on one of my Ebay watches and this auction came up: Peyton Manning Auto

Ok, I will give it to the seller this card may have been autographed by Peyton Manning but....... it's a ttm and not a factory released autograph card and not #'d/200. Why do I say this you ask? Well first of all the seller describes it as being "#/200". There are two things wrong with that part of the description:
1. A Peyton Manning card #'d/200 that was released is a hologold card, which this card plainly isn't. The base is #'d/300.
2. Also the autographs that were obtained for the 2000 set that were signed by Manning are only in black ink.

Now out of being curious I emailed the "Power Seller" 3 days ago and stated that I was VERY interested in the card but I had a couple of questions. Take into account that my Ebay handle is simply 2000collectorsedgesupremecollector so you think they would break their keyboard getting back to me. I wanted to know if the card they were selling was hand #'d/200 or machine #'d and also I asked if the card had a PSA/DNA sticker on the back and if so if they would email me the PSA/DNA number. I can't wait to read their answer, if I get one, because the Manning base auto card is #'d/300 and the hologold auto card is #'d/200 both were machine numbered and both would have a PSA/DNA sticker on the back . The rest of the auto's in the set were hand numbered. Also the "P" in relation to the "E" is different then the ones I have but everyone doesn't sign their names the exact way every time.

Just trying to give my peeps a heads up.

    They have made their living selling counterfeits and forgeries for years. I would not expect a response.

    Yeah they are a big seller of Starting Lineup and minor league counterfeits. They finally stopped trying to sell counterfeit 1980 Charotte O's Ripken's after so many people messaged them saying the card was fake.
  • It's too bad Ebay just doesn't care enough to get rid of sellers like this. I'm curious what this card will bid out at. An authentic Manning auto hologold card #'d/200 usually will sell at around $45-55. Oh, and of course it's an auction where the bidders are kept private.
  • Well the auction ended and I never received a response from the "Power Seller", big surprise. The auction winner got this baby for $41 and they probably don't even realize that they've been screwed.
