Frank Thomas collectors thread

So, does anyone else think that this NNOF is fake?

The break in the lines on the top left side are lower than the two that I own. Have you guys seen variations in the line break?

Yes, it is a fake. Not only are the lines on the top left too far down, but it is also missing the blotch on the left side of the name-box. Also, it looks to be mis-cut judging by how it looks in that one-touch. I'd bet money that it's the same fake that I have. Slightly smaller than the real-deal in terms of actual size.

I was thinking that the top and bottom border looked a bit small. That is a very nice fake, but i'm not sure if I would have noticed the lines if I did not own one already. Kind of scary!

The borders on my fake aren't as bad as the scan makes them to be. About the same as the one you linked to. IMO, the best sign that it's a fake, is the lack of the blotch in the name-box under Frank's foot. If you look on your legit copies you will see what I'm talking about.

I hadn't noticed the blotch on my first one until buying a second that had a darker spot. Your fake copy was a bit pricey, wasn't it?

Yeah, that gave me a chuckle. Sometimes I just don't understand where these people come from.

 

[gofrankgo]

Oh. Did and you see where Burbank is charging $10 shipping on some of its auctions?

It was when I purchased it as a legit copy. Contacted the seller about it being a fraud, & got a refund of all but about $30.

Well, there goes the days of their good prices!

Haha...so now, not only do they overprice the cards listed. But they also overcharge on shipping. ::facepalm::

not sure if this is legit or not:

Thomas auto looks okay, definitely from the era where he would have taken the time to sign his name that clearly, but not sure about the Griffey. I've never really looked at his autos before. Definitely wouldn't bite at $70, but didn't know if it was worth the time and effort to try and work a better deal.

I couldn't speak for the Griffey auto, but the Thomas looks pretty fake to me.

 

[mstng99tim]

They both look fake to me.

 

[gofrankgo]

Don't know about the Griffey auto but the Thomas is F-A-K-E.

Speaking of fake.... Do you guys think this is legit? I can't see a #/20 2005 Prime Patches Jersey Prime piece looking like this... This reminds me of that video with the guy showing all of his patches from this set.

I can't tell, but it looks almost too good to be true
