Take a look at this guys, and perhaps this is a seller to avoid. You be the judge.

I contacted the above seller to let him know the following:
1) The 2006 Bowman Original was numbered to 264. There is no 1/1.
2) The were not signed up the side, but rather across the front.
3) The signature on that card is fake. I am a avid Wright collector and can spot fakes, that is fake, and a bad fake at that.

He pulled the auction down. Few days later.

And look at the price for fake junk. Guys like this are a plague to the hobby.

Hmm, I wonder if the Bowman Originals 2001 Bowman Albert Pujols Auto #1/1 that sold earlier this week was a fake then. It looked good but the seller didn't have very good feedback. Topps should do something different with the sealed holder on future releases.

I saw that too, and more than likely based on this one, I would have to think it was not legit. I am not a Pujols expert, so I really can't say, but that Wright might be one of the worst fakes I have seen of him.

I'm suprised to see that so many high feedback bidders went after this. Moral of the story is research !

It really is a shame. I remember when the first Oswalt RC fakes came out. They were selling over $80 I think. It's funny because they don't even exist in the checklist.

Not sure why Topps and UD didn't foil stamp the cards. Especially for retired/HOF players.

Something as simple as this would have prevented any forgeries. Or IP autos being turned in to "1/1 buybacks".

The bolded is untrue. The Russ Martin /11 JSY and the Russ Martin /33 Gold were signed up the side. Unsure on any other players.
