Here's another thread involving the fake Sweet Spot Jeter:

So first, HYPE gets busted selling a VERY fake Kemp/Jeter clean/forge sweet spot card. He SWEARS he bought it at a show and that UD took it from him.
Now he is trying to pass off a fake Harper AFLAC in a lot?

Tsk tsk.

Regardless of the validity of the auctions in question, I can't comprehend why Topps could not "legally" release a Bryce Harper autograph as a give-away at the game. The licensing is no different than the base AFLACs and in neither case did Topps pay Harper for his image or autographs. Nor is Topps including it in a product at this point.

Also kind of funny, the thread he has posted the most in is "SHOELESS-JOEJACKSON (eBay seller) & other forgers/alterers" :lol: :lol:

Although, I want to point out that this member's whole name is "HYPE"... I thought you were accusing All_The_Hype of being a scam artist!

They could, but they definitely did not.

im still stumped. it very well could be fake the way that people are today (kevin burge) but then again, topps is known for back dooring a ton, and i mean a aton of items.

the guy i called said it was legit, but also the guy that someone else spoke to said fake.

o well, thankfully i collect felix jones and not bryce harper lol

It's fake, I can guarantee it. I spoke to someone who interacted with players at that game. I am positive of what I said.

I believe that is Harper himself, signing cards at the Aflac game.

Yes, and none were given out by Topps. Topps has every single one of those cards now stored away. Also compare the autographs on the card in the beckett pictures to the one on EBay, the signatures are very different.

Has anyone made mention of a second one of these hitting eBay yesterday?

[ebay:3st5vw4c]160358675961[/ebay:3st5vw4c]

Once again, no scan of the back.

Heck that one isn't even signed with the right pen, too thin an autograph.
