    No way to tell with those scans, I'd steer clear.

    I can't see the serial # on the psa slab. Any help?
  • fattymacsfattymacs Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭
    Crappy photos of a slabbed card (especially one as often faked as this card) are a red flag. The stains and ultra poor condition suggest artificial aging, add that to this quote:

    "This is one of many cards passed down to me after my grandmother passed away from breast cancer."

    All this with a feedback of 2, should be all you need to see to step away.

    Look at his other items, a smorgasboard of fakes and crap.

    Well he did buy a reprint 1986 Jordan Rookie - I'm sure that will be passed down by his grandmother soon enough.

    One of his two feedbacks was for the purchase of a Jordan rookie reprint. I wonder how long it will be before we see that up for sale as genuine - passed down by grandpa?

    seems like he managed a nice pic of the fake mantle but a terribl pic of the ruth... as mentioned, for many reasons, stay away.

    HIs new FB is for a 79 OPC Gretzky reprint.

    He had a 52 Mantle posted a few days ago that eBay finally removed.

    When are people going to learn?

    Don't buy from jamokes on ebay.

    If you do you are asking to get scammed.

    I wouldn't even ask if this seller and his cards were worthy of my time

    let alone my money.


    To Mr.Vintage I am not implying that the above is about you.

    Just an in general rant.

    I really am getting tired of all the fakes and scammers on ebay.

    And especially the time we waste here discussing them.

    3 feedback seller with the cards most faked? I think I'd stear clear.

    Ebay is worse than Yahoo auctions ever were.

    Good for you.

    That '33 Ruth is a fake. Easy way to tell is to look at his hat. On a real one, there is a sliver of yellow background between the white border and the top of his hat.

    From what I can see of it, it looks fake, but with pics like that why take a chance.

    ................

    The cards all look suspicious to me.

    His charity pitch is a TOS violation.
