Topps Rookie premiere Red autos print run?

[NYCrulesU]

Aren't there typically 10 of these? I'm looking to buy one but something just seems off.

Between completed and active auctions I count 18, although I didn't look at each auction to see if they are the same sellers. I do see two complete auctions with the same pic by the same seller. There are also two more liv auctions with the same pic by the same exact seller. So, either he has had four of these or he's reselling the same card over and over.

And, aren't there supposed to be Topps serial # stickers on the back?


Opinions?

08 never stated a print run there are a lot of fakes and they stopped using the sticker in 2007

Thanks Jrod. Are there any stand out things I should look for to distinguish a real from a fake?

I would personally just not buy any of the RP autos. There are some good fakes out there, and some have even gotten past the grading companies.

just gotta know the guys auto with his less than par auto it would be hard

and as to deceptikon they get by with fake autos because the card is real and bgs and psa don't authenticate the autos unless you pay for the extra service as long as the card is legit and the auto looks good on the card it will be graded

You have to buy the RPAs from people who pulled them from packs. Ebay has become the center of RPA fakes, and with Burge's gang churning them out at record speeds, there are now four times as many fakes as there are reals.

which hurts the values of real ones

There's a seller I already chose to avoid. He has tow complete Charles red autos, had two active. 1 about to end soon and he just relisted yet another. Fishy.

Check out Gellman's site. He has a lot of info on the fakes...
