I was just browsing completed listings on ebay.com and ran across this piece of work:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... TQ:US:1123

This is pathetic.... one of the worst fakes I have seen, It really makes me angry that some lowlife is making tons of cash off this crap, I mean who are the people bidding on these things can they not understand they are fake??? And what shocked me was his feedback is almost 100%. I mean how are people still getting away with this.... I mean I am no fake patch expert but I am smart enough to spot that one from 2 miles away lol.

I even messaged the scumbag and asked why are you selling this fake patch, you are what is ruining the hobby and he responded "How do you know it's fake? Do you work for Donruss?".

Just let me know your feelings on this,

Thanks.

Who cares...I mean If the people are stupid enough to buy it then its their own fault.

Dpanthers14 · Jan 17, 2009

They are scum bags, But in turn there only helping others out by making the real ones worth more. Besides that why would you even destroy a card, Its like rapeing the card by riping its insides out.

They really need some Dateline type story on this. Thousands of dollars are being wasted every year. Still I don't see how people still bid on this stuff. A little bit of education and detective work...I mean that one is easy.

sorry to jump in, but i click on links to aucttions all the time trying to see what members are talking about and i cant if the auction is closed. am imissing something ? i have an e bay account .

markakis8 · Jan 17, 2009

agreed. these posts keep coming up over and over again but in reality, it's just someone with money to piss away. most likely if they paid over $200 on a clearly fake patch, they have too much to spend.

Haha I know you would not lol

jk.... but I don't know why a person even with money would pay for a fake patch like that haha, I figure I would just post to let his ID be known.

Not really trying to defend the seller, especially after his response. But he doesn't have any other patches that are fake, current or closed auctions. I would assume that he actually bought a large collection and that was in it. He appears to be a football guy so he might not realize it is/was fake.

I know that if I bought a large baseball collection and a few football cards were in it, I probably wouldn't be able to tell you what was a real or fake.

That could be very possible too..... I wonder if he actually thought that it was real! haha :lol: but yeah he made $200+ dollars on a fake patch either way he is happy.

People who don't spend all day posting on baseball card messageboards

You know, 95% of the collecting population

And where do you fall, the 95% or the 5%?

shuedini · Jan 17, 2009

Here is what I think about it:

It disgusts me to see cards like this being sold/bought. I think the majority of the people buying these things are people who are buying the cards for other people. I haven't gone around looking into feedback and things like that to see if the buyer typically buys sports cards or not, but I can see people's grandma's buying these cards because "Oh, Johnny likes Albert Pujols. Maybe I will buy him something really nice for his birthday!" In the end, they get screwed into buying something like this garbage.

Just my:

pujolsjunkie · Jan 17, 2009

Yeah that one is bad. For anyone that doesn't understand why that's such an obvious fake, authentic Cards jersey logos aren't made of normal tackle twill. It's different from most authentic MLB jerseys. My authentic Pujols jersey should illustrate it pretty well...

So not only a fake patch, it's a....fake patch! LOL

Oh, I dunno. Probably that 5%, considering we're having this conversation on a baseball card message board

Your unintelligence never ceases to amaze me

fengzhang · Jan 17, 2009

I actually think baseball card mags like Beckett should write a few more stories on fake patches, the 2001 Bowman Chrome Albert Pujols fake numbering, and other issues. I think we know most collectors don't hang around baseball card message boards and so while all of this stuff is old news to us, it is not to them. It's not even about going too much into specifics but just to raise the issues that, yes, jersey patches can be removed and cleanly reinserted back into cards, yes, you can wipe off hand-numbering without any damage to the card so that collectors could have something to keep in mind.

uniquebaseballcards · Jan 17, 2009

Not just fake patch makers are scum, how about this guy: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmr.pirateninja the guy who had been making those phoney 'chrome proofs' has moved on to something new.

BTW, did anyone notice the patch seller we're talking about from the initial post also sells patches??
