If you are talking about this one:

Then yes, my guess is that it is faded. I had a Puckett that was similar (I bought it that way, but presumed it was fading)
Do you have a scan of one? The only red ink versions I've seen have actually been black ink signatures that have faded or more specifically sun/light exposure damage.
If this is a real post, I'd send every single one of those cards into PSA or BGS for grading, as those are cards that are very often counterfeited and you may have been taken for a ride by your seller.
Oh he certainly does that, just not in the positive ways he thinks...
And with that, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and holiday season to all those that don't celebrate it!
Here is a very simple way to handle them; buy them if you like them, don't if you don't. Pretty simple really. If you want to buy them, then don't add any premium to your buy price due to the jersey, or if you think it enhances them, pay whatever you want. I wouldn't pay anything more for...
While the cases cited here are interesting, I doubt that there would be a similar finding on a non-parody product that intends on using said logos multiple times a year, and presumably in multiple sports. I can't imagine that the other companies that have the exclusive licenses in other sports...
As far as I know, Broders were illegal and unlicensed at all points, even the ones that put the MLB logo on the backs of them. The magazine inserts (whether it was BCM, Legends, or the junky Rookie Review) didn't need licensing because they were considered to be part of the periodical, and thus...
Did the person bring it into his local USPS or hand it to his postal carrier? If so, have him check with them to see what may have happened. If there is no movement in a few days, he should go to his local PO with the tracking # and have them begin an investigation.
Topps didn't pay millions just for the "Official card of MLB" title. They paid whatever they paid for the exclusive rights to the logos and team names, and to be the only ones who have that right for the length of the contract. It's a BS thing for MLB to do, but it's what happened and we have...
The Top 10 I need
Honus Wagner
Cy Young
(those 2 guys first because they've been on my "need to get before the end of the year list for the past several years)
Martin Dihigo
John McGraw
Ichiro
Albert Pujols
Patrick Ewing
John Stockton
Tom Seaver signed rookie card
Obama
Since there are a lot of things to catch up on, I'll summarize:
1). I think it's great that Brian is on the forums. Card companies should have someone doing their hobby outreach, and it's commendable that Brian is as involved as he is. Even if it's for shameless self promotion of his...
I'm not hiding behind a keyboard. You are hiding behind your phone. You just took the time to type all of that, yet still won't "pop the cork" despite having all of the opportunity in the world to do so. You just went and proved everything I said.
Also, what's up with the PS? I don't...
After careful consideration guys, I think this is just a lot of hot air being brought up by a guy that is waiting for someone else to throw the first "stone" so to speak. Brian either doesn't have the cajones or the wallet to challenge the MLB exclusive on his own, and is apparently saying...
