Fake PSA Graded Jordan rookie cards on ebay

I was just surfing ebay and i came upon a seller who has a 1986 Fleer Jordan PSA 10 and a PSA 9 up for auction which look very suspect , if you look at the Cards notice how grainy the cards are and where the logo Fleer Premier , the yellow color is flush which the Original cards are not , and when you look at the back of the cards the color is off along with the grainy letters , also notice the PSA labels , very grainy as well as if they were copied , is their anything we can do , can we report this ?
abc_sports_cards_1 is the seller , here is the link to one of the cards http://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-87-Fleer-Michael-Jordan-57-Rookie-Card-Graded-PSA-Gem-Mint-10-/290816763621?pt=US_Basketball&hash=item43b607a6e5
i am in no way implying the seller is scamming or a crook , could be he purchased them and is re selling them , just would hate to see someone spend so much money on a fake card.

  • Crappy scan for a 10K card and the feedback is a laugher. Another reason why buying big cards at auctions is beneficial.
  • They now has 8 Jordan rookies listed... Looks like they has sold a few high dollar cards in the past and received positive feedback though.
  • According to their buyer feedback, they purchased three Jordan RCs that were in slabs from other grading companies (GEM, KSA, BCCG). He also bought something recently with private feedback from "atcollectibles7", which usually raises my suspicion.

    He takes photos, not scans, so that could explain why everything is a little grainy.

    What do you mean that the yellow is flush?
  • The fake “Fleer Premier” logo above is a poor copy of the genuine logo if you notice , there is no seperation of the yellow turning more into a darker yellow(Golden if u say) , its all yellow hence why i used the word flush from one side to the other

    "Copy"

  • The top right corner looks dinged too which would make me suspect the grade as a 10 as well.

    And he is simultaneously selling 8 Jordan rookies....

    OK, I see. Do you see any separation on any of his Jordans? They all kind of look the same to me, which makes me think that it's his camera that is doing it.

    I think it's the poor pictures. The whole slab looks grainy. The Fleer logo looks the same in all his cards. I haven't seen anyone fake a BGS holder yet.

    The font on the "FLEER" looks different to me, more separation in the genuine version of the "E" and "F" compared to the other. Almost in the same sense, the lower part of the "L" in the genuine is substantially smaller than the other.
