Well, this is an interesting take on attempting to sell a fake patch.

Points for honesty.

I'm guessing he bought it thinking he was real. Found out it was a fake and now doesn't want it so is disclosing its fake.

Glad he isn't trying to pass it off as real. Props for being honset about what you are selling. Most wouldn't disclose this.

Seller says he bought it knowing it was a fake. The only problem I can see is someone buying this intending to pass it off as real...in fact, I bet this will end up with a massive price tag at the White Plains show with the other hundreds of fake patches. If someone honest buys it, there should be a way to stamp it or deface it in a way that makes it clear it's a fake.

Hole puncher?
Set it on fire? LOL!

I don't find anything wrong with the seller. There is no way you can buy this without knowing what you are buying.

Who wants to bet this gets sold again in 91 days in a blue label Authentic BGS slab.

I got suckered on a fake Josh Beckett Classic Clippings patch right around when 2010 Bowman came out (traded a Strasburg Orange paper and a Starlin Castro Ref auto for the Beckett and a pile of lesser PC cards). It sucks knowing I got screwed, but I know it'll never leave my collection, so I never worry about someone else getting scammed. If I had to, I would probably figure a way to leave a very visible crimping or stamping that doesn't run the card or the appearance, yet ensures no one will mistake it for real. Perhaps something similar to how Fleer stamped the National Pastime Buybacks, except with a big smiley face that says I'M FAKE!

Lol i missed that sentence. I mean for a PC collector buying this for like 5 bucks or under is kinda a cool card but can't imagine it gets very much at all.

The seller's a good guy. He is selling off his Bagwell collection and had a collection that makes mine look laughable. He's always up front about everything he has sold. I'd know as I've watched/bid on/or won a lot of his items.

But...imagine if that was real? That thing would go for a pretty penny!

I wouldn't believe that was real even if I pulled it myself.

 

[AnthonyCorona]

It is still pretty cool looking. I like that he's not a scum bag acting like he pulled it

Really? i thought who ever made it did a great job. The fakes are usually the sweetest parts of the patches. This one is modestly done in my opinion.

 

[predatorkj]

I'm actually curious as to how he knows it's fake. I believe him, but he says he purchased it knowing it was so I'm guess either he'd seen it prior to the additions or the seller he got it from was just as honest.

 

[OscarOne]

at some point it just might be easier to just say screw it and start collecting fake patch cards. I mean, they generally always look good...

 

[mlbsalltimegreats]

Not even a good fake at that as its your classic shove job.

 

[finestkind]

At least he's honest.

This is a terrible fake; three logos perfectly like that in one card? Fat chance.

It's funny. We've all become so use to crappy work the manufacturers do that something that looks great is an awful fake.

 

[WCTYSON]

Just destroy the card IMO. No reason to keep it in the marketplace. Somewhere along the line, a not so honest seller will find a mark.

Ended up selling for $26.99, way more than I was willing to go. Now let's see if this resurfaces as a "real" patch card.

It won't.
