As the title suggests this is just becoming a common trend today which is sad but as long as we keep our finger on the pulse we can expose these people that give the hobby a bad name.

There is a third account which I can't find anymore.
I have found two sellers to stay clear of or should I say one seller to stay clear of, a common trend with this seller is the 2008 at the end of his username until he sees this thread.
Anybody that has been in the hobby for a few years will know or at least have doubts about these cards but new members to the hobby wouldn't know any better which is why I'm posting this to warn them.
Here's an example of the real deal
Look closely at the auto & stamp and it will be clear especially the stamp which should read.
SEAL OF AUTHENTICITY
NBA HOOPS
1992-93
The not so real deal not worthy of a card stand.
Upon close inspection you can see the deliberate movement on this auto if that makes any sense and the stamp is the dead giveaway, you can just make out the NBA HOOPS & 1992-93 but the SEAL OF AUTHENTICITY wording is not clear.
This seller has also been selling these auto's and getting good coin for them so just beware.
The card will always be listed with a small scan or photo so ask for a more detailed pic/scan but the response will always be "I'm currently away and unable to scan the card" or "My scanner is broken". This should ring alarm bells straight away and usually means stay clear.
Hopefully this helps at least one person on here and stops them from spending money on a fake card, if anyone has any doubts jump on here and ask.
Thanks for looking guys.
