BEWARE: Fake Playoff Contenders Jesus Montero auto on eBay

[aw00d05]

Good catch, that doesn't look like his auto either.

Did he take a sticker off a $1 auto take the ink off and fake the Montero auto?

I think he took a sticker, wiped it down and forged the sig.

Yeah that's pretty much what I said. :lol:

Haha didn't read whole thing, thought you just said took the sticker and left the auto.

Yeah I gotcha, it's a pretty bad fake too.

The things people will do to make money... :|

That isn't his signature...

While most fault falls on the seller, I would have to place some on the people bidding. I mean he even shows the back of the card where it should say it is a certified autograph, and the auto is nothing like Montero's

Does all the recent Donruss auto show certified autograph on the back?

[bouwob]

is he shilling his own fake?

Here is my assessment: wi

The guy is telling the truth, he pulled it from a box he opened but the boneheads at Donruss screwed up. You can see how very easily it happens, it looks like the same card (albeit it not the same quality) and the person making $10 an hour slapped the wrong auto to boot. I have seen plenty interesting autos from Donruss.

Take the Contenders for example, Arraon Cunningham. I have a card of his that has a normal auto with a fine sharpie, then I have one that is signed with a VERY thick sharpie and the autos look NOTHING alike. See below:

Bruin7, since you have 99% of the set complete, why not check all the autos you have to see if you can match the one on the Montero up in auction? If you find one that matches then you know the guy is not a scam artist and it is Donruss's fault. Would not be the first, or last!

I would be even more worried if he came back with a one word answer "YES". lol.

How are my scans coming paypal locked and loaded.

Gimme a hour or so. I am at work, and need to do something first... You will be online for awhile then?

Will scan Snider soon (along with Wieters that I will be putting in Ebay today)...

Thanks

"The attached autograph is an official autograph signed by Jesus Montero. The authentic autograph was obtained and is guaranteed by Donruss Playoff LP."

It is a real Donruss card.
It is a real Donruss Auto.
Put one on top of the other where it does not belong then it is not real. It is not a fake, since both are real.......however, it is not a SP to 39. With that said it will probably sell for 300.

I hope Bruin7 looks through this thread and has a moment to check his Contenders auto and see if the auto matches.....if it does then we can check all of that contenders cards of that player and see if we see a montero auto.....honestly, all my contenders could say "jeusus montero" i never check the name on the auto.....do you guys?

In no way do I think the seller is lying, ignorance is bliss
