yeah kinda weird to have 3 superfractors unstamped

 

[WaxPax]

Wait, is this where I get to say it?...Is it really my turn???...OK here I go; "Thanks Topps"

 

[nyc3]

Topps really needs to get this **** under control

 

[James52411]

This is very weak on Topps' part.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

He's sold more than 3.

 

[WaxPax]

Seems like he is trying to gain credibility by mixing each with other "legit" cards....

Edit; he also sold a Josh Bell Blue wave Red /25 also without a S # according to his FB...hmmmmm

Looks like another backdoor job. Seller is in TX, so I'm guessing he has connections to a printing company Topps used down there. Anyone alert Topps (on Twitter or whatnot) to this yet?

Really too bad to see this. But if they were stolen from the printer, (I realize that stated is just conecture), but how can Topps control that? Put a tracking device on every card? Where there are valuables, there is theft.

Stopping it might be tough. But should they not recover these?

The seller had a Pujols that ended last night; unfortunately I have a Pujols I acquired a couple weeks ago that I just discovered is also unnumbered. A third Pujols was sold recently by a third seller, I fired off an email to the winner of that auction to see if that one has numbering.

This seller claims he started a brand new eBay account for an unusual reason.

Edit: The Pujols I acquired came from Dallas.

If these cards are being stolen from the printer, then Topps needs to contact its contract partner and demand that this problem is addressed.

could it be possible that this guy is just making the customs himself? I've seen some people make some amazing custom supers.

Obviously, if he's making customs but playing them off as authentic, that's still a problem.

 

[WaxPax]

Not a bad thought, except I would think for all the trouble in making them, you would see all big names if you were to do that..I can see the sano and Pujols, not the Terdoslavich or May

well, maybe it's the "hockey" mentality. There are some super obscure guys that sell very well for a few reasons: scarcity of cards and nationality.

maybe this guy is doing some no-names to try and get the supercollectors to jump after it thinking it's authentic.

In the fine print and the code on the back will show where the card was manufactured. I think there is a printer here in the DFW area that did the Topps Ticket to Stardom set. I haven't looked one up in awhile.
Will see if i have a platinum card around here and let you know.

Here is link on the topps website:

Enter this code from 2010 Platinum 8621001 and you get this it also comes up for several other products like Pro Debut
Looked on the back of 2012 Finest and it is not on there and the number for 2012 Bowman Platiunum is not working.

Allen, TX is in the Dallas Fort Worth area so I assume they are backdoored from this company.

Product: 2010 Bowman Platinum Baseball
CP code: 8621001
Manufacturer: Graphic Converting Texas
Manufacturer date: 10/11/10 - 10/22/10
Address: 204 E Bethany Drive, Allen TX 75002

"this is it boys this is war, what are we waiting for"

That line should be coming from one whitehall plaza in nyc, not only from a car stereo.

Year after year, super rare bowman/ chrome parallels are backdoored (or released thru sheets) into the hobby.

Its every year with multiple brands!
The only "good thing" is that they are lacking serial numbers making them stand apart.

But when are bogus auto'd versions gonna show up? And parallels of those?

How would it affect the hobby if forged copies of harper, zunino, darvish, hamilton, castellanos, etc etc show up autographed by a scam artist?

Now THAT would hurt the hobby.

How are those 2007 topps football rookie premiere autographs doing? Imagine that impact across the entire bc/tc/bp/bdp lines!

Instead of the fcb uproar over "rize", we should be a XXXX more concerned over ANOTHER topps XXXX up!

And so should topps.

Too bad they stopped putting holograms, etc on the backs of 1/1s and autos. Not that these couldn't be circumvented, but they did offer a certain level of security.
