FAKE 1990 Donruss Aqueous Test on ebay

[MartinFFcollector]

Saw this and thought I'd share. Credit goes to Bob over at CU.

Warning: There's a current auction for a bogus 1990 Donruss Aqueous card of Mariano Duncan ( + sold Bo Jackson) on eBay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mario-Duncan-19 ... 256cf1fac0

Problems with the auction:
1) Card is numbered 684. Aqueous cards don't go that high.
2) Stamp on back is fake. Real cards aren't "stamped". The AQUEOUS TEST label is built into the card itself (i.e., same as all of the ink on the back)
3) Stamp is misplaced. On all real Aqueous cards, the "T" in TEST cuts through 3B in the statistic headings.
4) Stamp is smeared.

FWIW Here's another fake that was listed on a website that had many for sale. Site is no longer avail.

I noticed the Mariano Duncan on ebay, but it was removed by ebay. I bet he figured cheap BIN's were the only way to successfully scam. I didn't even notice they were fake until you said something and I looked a little closer.

What was the sellers name? The action has been removed.

Also, in a thread a month or so ago we were compairing several different Aqueous cards and it seemed the printing didn't always match up from player to player. If that's the case it would seem that not all cards would have the "T" going through the 3B. I mean the Thompson ones I've seen do go through the 3B but just barely.

Lol, he keeps trying to pull fast ones. Ebay is keeping a close watch, that's a good thing.

He did dupe someone out of $65 on another Griffey before they caught him though.
