Purchased this a few months ago from a reputable dealer at a big card show.
Suspicious as to whether it is the real deal based on a few factors. Thoughts?

looks fake too me. Curry's name should not be in white lettering. It should be silver.
Wow and the name font and its alignment is atrocious, thanks for sharing
Never thought a modern base card would be something to worry about, but this is probably one of the most counterfeit cards out now.

Not sure how ebay lets this happen. this is a counterfeit Curry rookie card, with no inscription on the card that it is a reprint, but being sold as a reprint.

This is blatant fraud. This punk is using the NBA and Topps logo without permission and flooding the market with counterfeits. All on the internet for everyone to see. Clearly doesn't give a sh**. Crime pays on ebay.

The main flaw with Capitalism.
No matter if it is right or wrong, in the end, the choice will always be what is most profitable.
He's not the only one. There are dozens of sellers selling them.
There will most likely be a real flood of these if Curry were to win the NBA Finals and MVP. Be careful out there.
Maybe you are a few seasons behind and still catching up, so spoiler alert:
he already did this
Now, ask yourself why the card companies and various sports leagues don't aggressively pursue these folks? It would be very easy, and they probably would even have a case against ebay for continuing to allow this. But they don't. Why? Is it because they are "guilty" themselves of running more copies of various cards/sets and not disclosing it? Seems like the likely reason to me.
I actively collect Kirby Puckett. I have collections of Michael Jordan, Emmitt Smith, Roberto Clemente, Dwight Gooden, Tom Seaver, Errict Rhett and Evan Longoria.
i think he might have been referring to if he won both the MVP and Finals this year. The MVP is unfortunately out because he is not a finalist, but I agree with the sentiment. The more that Curry does, the more these cards are desired, and therefore the more people need to be careful. Much like the MJ RC.
Hopefully this will help in identifying the fakes.

I realize this. I was referring to this years Finals. This would no doubt increase his cards being even more collectable with this additional award/Ship, if it were to come to pass. 2 are better than 1, 3 better than 2 etc.
I believe there is a guy named Durant that has pole position for MVP in Finals....at least so far

Ebay has his address, probably a credit card, his name, etc. A 4th grader could figure this out and arrest this guy in 20 minutes. We have folks in our neighborhood stealing mail in broad daylight, ransacking houses with no concern for security cameras. Lots of these punks are on camera with their faces. Cops catch them, they are back at it 2 weeks later. it's like wack-a-mole.

I agree. If a Warrior were to get MVP I hope it is KD.
