Sorry for bumping a thread from 2014 but didn't think it was worth starting a new thread but...

For Albert Belle specifically, I have seen a wave of these come up for sale and then sell for WAY less than they are probably worth but the real thing catching my eye and making me post is now nearly every one is slabbed and NOT serial numbered...

As discussed in the past, the slabbing of these is not to authenticate the autograph but to slab the card, etc. I will go out on a ledge here and say this is one of the lowest hanging fruit fake auto's out there for the lowlifes that want to do it but you write "max" on the card, send and get the card slabbed and away you go... no way to tell if the auto is above or below the glossy as discussed for being authentic... not to mention the guy has about the easiest auto to write (eye roll)

Here are THREE RECENT Albert Belle sales... all three are slabbed and are NOT serial numbered... I know there are some legit versions which are not numbered (for various reasons) but are you telling me there are this many non-serial numbered Albert Belle versions to have three sold in the last month or so?!?!?

I will stop my rant but I think there is a trend here and not much we can do about it I guess...

Hey Mac! I've noticed those also. Saw the PSA Authentic end pretty reasonably, then thought about bidding on the PSA 9 until I looked into it and figured something had to be up. Watched the BGS out of curiosity. Also saw a Griffey end not too long ago for under $200 IIRC. I think it's just a card you can't trust to be legit anymore.
