Pretty much Fleer went bankrupt, and entered administration. As part of that process, the remaining inventory (including cards, and un-finished cards - cards that hadnt been signed, stamped or had a piece of memorabilia inserted in them), was all sold off either via an auction house, closed-door sales or "cashy" jobs behind the scenes.

Majority of those cards made their way to the marketplace (ebay, etc), and a lot have been "manufactured" (dodgy jobs) and been made to look original. 03-04 & 04-05 cards were hit the most.

There's still tonnes of cards on ebay that claim to be something they're not. Supposedly cards #/10, /25 etc (even 1/1s) but none of them have original stamping, and they're more likely to be from a stack of 100/more or something (replacement quantities, or extras, perhaps).

A lot of people have fallen victim of these "Fleer Auction" cards they're now referred to.
 
Someone is showing off the legit 1/1 version on HK. It's looks like a cool card. The logos are nice and tight and has the 1/1 stamp.

Still I'd grab this dodgy version for $40, maybe no more.

Thanks, obviously there can only be one 1/1, easy to pick the legit one.

Well I don't think there was any doubt here that the one you listed in OP was the legit release one. I think the debate was more on how much of that card belong from fleer bankruptcy stock lol.

And shouldn't the owner know the difference....

Well the evidence is in this thread whether he should or shouldn't know.

PS: I actually wrote an article on this for a site, which should be published within the next couple weeks.

I havent seen those (original) 1/1s before, so interesting there's no purple, and as someone asked about them being 01/01.

Real or not (assuming it IS real), the logo patches looked s***ty.

Where would the purple go?

How do those logos look any different to any others?

They look awesome, therefore, making it an awesome card.

Yeah the numbering is usually purple, and sometimes the description/title of the card, in this case "SKYBOX FRESH INK" and possibly the player's names.

I looked again, and it seems the card design was making me think there were loose threads. They look alright.

I don't agree they're an "awesome" card tho. You can keep that statement! ha ha.

personally I dont think any crd fleer made in 03-04 04-05 leading up to their bankrupcy was awesome. Mainly cause they had no money to do much with them. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the logoman come from other players jerseys or alternate jerseys lol.
 
Obviously this is a fake, anyone can see that.
1. Dodgy cut job for where the logo goes.
2. Dodgy card separation and glue job.
3. No numbering 1/1 etc.
4. Incorrect card number.
5. No 'Congratulations... blah blah blah'

I am not accusing the seller of making the dodgy fake... all I have to say is that he is going to get stung with neg feedback when the person who payed over $100 for it receives it and see's that it is a fake.

This is why I would never buy Bankruptcy products...
 
This is the huge problem with the fleer bankruptcy sale and I really hope that Panini or Upper Deck never do the same.

This is a card I'd really like for my Camby collection (please check the print run!) :
