"Ride me baby" chrome auto inscription

[BBCgalaxee]

So someone I know says he got this card from a pack today.

It's not serially numbered and the ink looks just like the auto.

Anyone else know about this?

Looks different ink to me and I'm no forensic handwritingologist but those Rs look markedly different too.

I assume he would have written Ryde me instead of Ride. Maybe not, but I would have.

And another one of these cards. I can tell you with in seconds one was signed with a sharpie and one signed with the pens topps use (for the sake of not handing a step by step on how to fake one I will leave it out). Not sure what ink you are looking at but its clear as day they are 2 different shades of blue ink. So as was the outcome last year this is someone up to no good as there is almost no chance of the card being pack pulled with that inscription. Now the question is where they trying to sell this to you? If so you may want to ask them why.

He wasn't trying to sell it to me, just showed it to me at white plains show today.

I asked him a few times if it's real since we have joked about that fake "Twitter" card which surfaced at the national in the past.

I think there is only one true question remaining. Fake or not, is it a true ebay 1/1??

Personally, I'm SHOCKED more fake inscriptions don't show up. For as many "fake patch" cards, you'd think there would be 100 fake inscription cards.

Its not easy to add an inscription under an existing autogtaph. Most real inscriptions have the auto a bit smaller and higher to fit the inscription. It is much easier to tell a fake auto than a fake patch.

Notice the Ichiro auto is not centered like it would be if there was no inscr.

I have never and would never do either but I have to believe it'd easier to fake an inscription, than fake a simple memo card into a patch card lol.

Maybe not, again never would or have done it but just have to believe I can write with a pen but not sure I'm creative enough to fake a patch. Maybe not. Maybe it's easy. Again, I have no idea on either.

You can't add an inscription to a normal auto, you would have to wipe off the auto and resign it with the inscription. 99% of the time there is not much room for and inscription and when they are legit the auto is smaller to make room for the inscription. If you just added some words below or to the side of a regular auto that would look fake from a mile.

This is a perfect example of what i am saying. If you took the same (un-inscribed auto) and crammed the same words under a full size auto it would be very obvious.

I agree the ink does not match up; pretty easy to tell its different pen

same exact mistake made the dope made with the twitter card. Now we have a new bright one thinking this is "funny".

While I do not condone or agree with the practice, I am surprised this isn't more wide spread. People will do anything to try and maximize their money. Not just in the card world, but in general.

I agree. And I would suspect in time this could worsen. Hopefully this is an isolated case, but why do I have a feeling this isnt the last time we will be speaking about this card?

What I've been saying all along in this thread.

It's easier [maybe not for Topps but in general] to debunk a fake inscription or even contact the athlete through social media.

Maybe scams would happen more if the cards were supposed to be inscribed with some sort of notation.

Here ya go, it's fake

I asked him first and he didn't answer me!
