Is this Paige Real or Fake??

illinifan912 · January 23, 2013 10:06AM

Is this Paige real? Kinda interesting to see its from the people from Hardcore Pawn selling it and they have it as real but im not familiar with the set.

49 leaf paige

bobbyw8469 · January 23, 2013 10:36AM

In my opinion, the Paige looks real. However, there are some really good fakes out there. If Hardcore Pawn guarantees it, then I would get it graded asap.

illinifan912 · January 23, 2013 10:37AM

I emailed them and they said if it was sent to psa/bgs and it was deemed to be a fake they would refund the purchase price.

They don't like SGC either!

I gotta say their neg feedback is hillarious. Its almost exactly like the show where they try to always do the right thing, but some(most) customers can't be pleased under any circumstances. It does seem like they won't put up with bs though.......

I think they cost themselves a decent amount of money by not having it graded or authenticated.

looks ok by me.

This may be you only chance...

ShootyBabitt · January 23, 2013 9:44PM

I like the EX Borque rookie that they have up for sale:

Still, if graded, this card could bring $200-$400.

The only reason not to grade that card.... is if you are afraid it will come back a fake.

KbKards · January 23, 2013 10:45PM

I don't like the way the corners look on the back. It makes it look like a modern sandwiched together reprint. That along with the way the front looks in the picture definitely requires a better scan before bidding. Low quality pictures could cause the effects seen. If a higher quality scan is provided it would easily clear things up.

TheZodiacCollection · January 24, 2013 12:52AM

yup

BrownBlueGreen · January 24, 2013 2:33AM

I like all their other card auctions that are priced about 50 times actual value. 9 Herman Moore commons for $10

I like the BCCG Graded '9' 1987 Topps Roger Clemens for $20 lol

It's a great rare card.

ThoseBackPages · January 24, 2013 4:08AM

that card is way too clean to be authentic imo.

ThoseBackPages · January 24, 2013 4:09AM

that is the most difficult post-war baseball RC there is. why it is not graded is what id like to know.

illinifan912 · January 24, 2013 4:30AM

<< that is the most difficult post-war baseball RC there is. why it is not graded is what id like to know. >>

got a message back from them and they said that this was purchased along with 2 ty cobb cards and one was graded by psa and because of this they believe this is real

ThoseBackPages · January 24, 2013 4:38AM

sounds fishy to me

fkw · January 25, 2013 6:21AM

strange coloring on the corners are the only red flag IMO, but the image/card stock is really authentic looking

"way too clean" lol
the card looks authentic and not clean either (about a PSA-2/3)
and ...
"The only reason not to grade that card....is if you are afraid it will come back a fake." WRONG! it IS because a true baseball card collector (preslab) could care less about value, plastic slab hype, unlike all these $$ hungry pseudo-collector newbies...

PS if you want a real Satchel Paige rookie for 1/50th of the price, buy the 1949 Exhibit card... every single Exhibit Supply Co. card of Paige was made/issued ONLY in 1949

illinifan912 · January 26, 2013 6:43AM

wonder if people are thinking its a fake and that why bidding has really slowed in the past few days on this

swartz1 · January 26, 2013 6:50AM

suspicious it is not graded with the PSA 1.5 comment...

dtkk49a · January 26, 2013 11:00AM

It sold for 2728.00 so a few people think its real.

Did anyone here buy it?

captainthreeputt · January 26, 2013 11:11AM

I was an underbidder.

Dpeck100 · January 26, 2013 11:12AM

Those final moments were explosive!

ShootyBabitt · January 26, 2013 2:17PM

Hot damn!!!

illinifan912 · January 26, 2013 2:38PM

ccrazy price

KbKards · February 18, 2013 12:45AM

It's unfortunate but that sort of listing will end up selling to a very inexperienced collector or dealer who scours Ebay thinking they can get huge scores on cards that everyone else will miss. The worst thing about buyers like this is many won't have a clue as to what they just bought, or how to spot a fake, and won't find out until they show off their card to another collector. I hope it works out well for the buyer.

Dboneesq · February 18, 2013 1:04AM

<< I emailed them and they said if it was sent to psa/bgs and it was deemed to be a fake they would refund the purchase price. >>

I would not count on that. Look at their item description:

*AS- IS*

All sports cards are sold AS IS. We are not professional graders and we will not venture any guess as to the grade or condition of a card. All we can do is provide the pictures. Please look over the pictures provided very carefully and make a decision for yourself. If you want additional pictures to make the decision please ask. All sports memorabilia sales are final UNLESS the package is damaged during shipping, in which case contact us as all packages have insurance so we can take the proper steps to file the insurance claim.

ALL AS IS items are sold AS IS

Jakt · February 18, 2013 1:13AM

They might have some disclosure in their listings, but if a buyer makes a claim, chances are they will win and a refund will be issued. It's not like the eBay of old where they limited the restitution too $250. Thieves like this can no longer get away with this.

fkw · February 18, 2013 8:31AM

the "As Is" note is only on condition of card, not authenticity

its a good "As Is" note IMO, because many newbies are driven by $$ and slabs and will get pissed if they send it in to a 3rd party grader and it comes back a 3-4 yet the seller says its in Excellent condition...

RipublicaninMass · February 18, 2013 8:43AM

Not mine

no feedback for the paige yet

bobbyw8469 · February 21, 2013 4:16AM

I would stay away from the raw cards that Hardcore Pawn sells...IMO.

addicted2ebay · February 21, 2013 4:18AM

Looks like Seth got taken to the cleaners and is now trying to cover his butt.

ThoseBackPages · February 21, 2013 4:20AM

i feel that cards like these are raw for a reason.

illinifan912 · February 21, 2013 4:30AM

gotta say I went on there website and say a nice elephant foot rest for around 1k. Pretty neat item

Mapleleaf · February 21, 2013 7:52AM

That Bourque rookie looks more like VG

Is this Paige Real or Fake??
