Interesting. Hopefully it gets pulled.

I think it will by either ebay or the seller. imo I think he is an ok guy and have bought from him in the past, I assume he was duped into buying this card at a show or shop.

It always sucks when it's a legit seller who gets stuck with something shady.
I ran into a couple guys at the last Chicago show who were "sold" fake 05 Absolute jersey tags.
Tried to tell em both, and they both blew it off. Sometimes trying to be nice gets you nowhere :(

Well no one wants to be told they bought fake cards, even if they accept it they want to try to get some money back

True dat. But, the question is, is that any less deceitful than being the one who faked it to begin with?
To me, the only thing to do is try to recoup from the original seller, and if not, call it a loss. Sucks I know,
but I couldn't bring myself to sell/trade something I knew was fake.

The PGA final round yesterday was awesome.

The Good - Y.E. Yang becomes first Asian to win a major!

The Bad - Tiger fails to close the door after leading/co-leading through the first 54 holes. He was 14/14 previously.

The Ugly - Padraig Harrington. I believe it was the 8th. ::facepalm::

How's everyone doing this fine morning?

Jeffrey!! How are you good sir?

Did you have a bunch of fun over the weekend?
It was good. Went and saw "A perfect Getaway" with the wife on Saturday. Good movie. She liked the scenery as it was set in Hawaii. And I liked this one chicks scenery. ;)

Worked at my LCS yesterday, watched a guy crack a tin of 2007 Sweet Spot and pull a faded Phil Hughes #/99. Oh, UD. ::facepalm::

I am thinking about a 10 box case of 2008 Topps Sterling, thoughts :?:

morning everyone.

the Red Sox lost 2 of 3 to the Rangers and now are a 1/2 game back in the Wild Card and 7.5 back in the East :( .

the Pirates and Cubs were rained out so no Pirate loss :D . I am going to the Pirate Brewers game tonight. it will be my first time seeing Prince Fielder and I am pretty excited.

I won my 174th and 175th Jason Bay auto's yesterday...

And visit with my buddy, the Ranger. Bring Cecilia some nice Cubs memorabilia. All that has to account for something.

Morning Dave! Nice pickups! Let's hope the Sox turn this thing around soon.

George- isn't 08 Sterling the one with the jumbo patches? or is that 09? or both? :?

Now see you did it, bringing the Cubs into the discussion. I kept them out due to your post last night about people dragging the Cubbies into everything. You are welcome but leave you Cubbie blue in Indy, dont want to jinx the case.

You saw that? I'm a Cubs fan, so it's different. I guess jbone decided that since the Red Sox are better than the Yanks he couldn't make fun of them anymore. Why'd he choose the Cubs? I don't know. Rivalry? No. Division? No. Conference? No. Hmmmm....oh well. ::facepalm::

George, make sure you contact MC Kevin Burge about your break. I'm sure he can give you some great ideas to turn those plain jumbo jersey into freaking sweet patches.
