My First Fake..

Jays_Cards · Dec 13, 2009

How stupid am I? I just bought this card without reading the auction description carefully and without doing my homework. So much for impulse buying..I guess it is a lesson learned.

Ouch. That stings.

How do you know it's fake? I must be missing something.

Authentic "Jersey" (Not Prime-Patch)

because it is supposed to be a jersey card /391 (of which I have 2). I read the auction title and assumed the card was a 1/1 patch without even looking at it. Money is not really an issue, but it still pisses me off.

What's the penalty for not paying?

Weimer · Dec 13, 2009

Ah. That does suck. Sorry dude.

Crazylox23 · Dec 13, 2009

The title says 1/1 and it isnt, contact paypal/ebay and you will get a refund. A seller cant use improper keywords like that. File a claim and you will win.

Saw that this afternoon....had to click on the enlarge image to realize myself that it was a fake.

Just don't pay for it and take a NPB hit

That's what I would do.

Weimer · Dec 13, 2009

I would contact eBay/Paypal about it and tell them it's a fake or item not as described or whatever. I'm sure there's some way you can get out of the deal and get your money back before it's too late. Or like a few others have said just take the NPB strike and move on.

George_Calfas · Dec 13, 2009

Email the seller, tell him you bought within the last seconds not realizing it was not a real 1/1. Other wise a Paypal claim will be real easy on a tampered with card. He can let you out of the purchase or deal with PP later. My 2 cents.

Weimer · Dec 13, 2009

Also, on a somewhat related note, since the topic pertains to Josh Beckett and your collection I feel like sharing a completely random story with you involving you and your collection. I was playing MLB 09 the other night against my buddy and decided to play as the Red Sox, which I never do because I dislike them, and in doing so decided to pick Josh Beckett as my pitcher. After picking him as my pitcher the first thing I thought was, "Hmm...Jays_Cards collects him and has some nice stuff. I have no idea why I'm thinking about this but hey!"

End of story.

I thought you would appreciate it. I still have no clue why that was the first thing to pop into my mind.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ this is what id do to

jbone17 · Dec 13, 2009

Email the seller and if he is a d-bag to you, file a claim. If not, take a hit man. Would this be your first hit if you decide to take it? This doesn't sound perverted at all.... :lol:

ChasHawk · Dec 13, 2009

Sucks that this happened to you bud, but I gotta be honest.

I saw this a couple days ago, and thought to myself..."who bids on this crap?".

Not trying to be a dick, as you obviously were not the only one bidding. I just think
the fact that people don't look closely is a lot of what allows patch fakers to continue.
