What is wrong with people

Topps card in what is being sold as a Bowman product, auto looks terrible, all the usual laughable signs, yet it's still well over $200. This has been going on for 4 years. People should know about this by now. The people who are buying these cards obviously have no problem with fakes and cards that aren't on any official checklist. It just seems too easy. It's just so tempting to write an obviously forged auto and sell it for $250. I mean ultimately the buyer needs to do a little homework. I've always wondered what would happen if I wrote "A Plujo" left handed in ballpoint pen on a Bowman card and billed it as a Bowman Originals auto. I bet it would still sell for over $50. Which is good for a base card and 5 seconds of work.

I don't want anyone to think I am actually advocating this or considering doing it in real life. It's just tempting when buyers are so uneducated, is all I'm saying.

I sent the seller a question last night, saying this:
Hi,
Do you have anymore information about this card and the other Pujols you are selling? Why are they in Bowman original cases when neither card are a Bowman product and neither appear on the checklist?
Thanks

The seller responded with:
they are hand signed single cards they did not come from packs

I sent them another message but have yet to receive a response.

What is wrong with people...I agree.

2 Topps cards made into Bowman Originals. Both 1/1 cards, same card, same player not in CL.

Thats some funny quit swearing, i kinda think the same thing when i see it.

Totally agree with your post. I was looking at some other autos of his to see discrepancies and saw this. Tell me, if you saw this auto on a card that was not from a certified product, would you think it was fake? I sure would.

Thats tough, that looks much closer to his recent autos. He has a pretty easy sig to fake, and his A is much less angled and scripted than as a rc. The fake along with the many BO Pujols fakes are really bad.

I almost feel like if someone is stupid enough to buy it then they deserve to waste their money

This guy is making money hand over fist, and one of his buyers "loggersdoitinthewoods" has been dealing with high-end Heritage stuff for a long time. I can't believe he didn't know better. This seller isn't even trying. This is easy easy easy money. Who am I to try to educate buyers? If they want to buy this garbage, why shouldn't they be buying it from me?

Fake Pujols Auto, Rookie Cup Parallel /399 with a sticker slapped on - $150

There is also older feedback for a Pujols Ichiro Dual Bowman Originals auto for $271 along with plenty of other Pujols autos. Well over $1000 from 5 or 6 cards.

Honestly it would be so easy to make money doing this.

 

[cubuffs13]

Moments and Milestones + Horrible looking auto = stupid people. Really you have to be pretty dense to think that is a real auto.

 

[ChasHawk]

It's also being shilled. :lol:

Sad thing to me is that someone with 20k feedback is bidding on it.

Doesn't suprise me anymore though. Think about how many stupid people you encounter every day.

 

[mudflap02]

I am so close to listing a Pujols with a duct tape sticker auto just to see if it gets any bids. Maybe a Bowman Originals 1/1 on a Fleer Tradition card with a silver auto.
