ive got this card!!! the card auto is slightly different, but mines beckett graded. so whos got the fake? me or him? heres a pic i just took now.

ace e · Apr 26, 2007

that is freaky, something definitely wrong.
Hold on, i think someone has made the second 2 into a 1.

ace e · Apr 26, 2007

report the guy.

bigsarg7 · Apr 26, 2007

I would definately report it and email him and question why his is numbered the same. They may have changed the number on it

jordan23 · Apr 26, 2007

Mate i think your's is the fake!!!!

His signed name (Drexler) just doesn't look right, compare mine to your's and you'll see.

AndrewG23 · Apr 26, 2007

i reckon the guy whos selling it has the fake. he says in his description "card have fleer logo authenticity". like hes trying to make it authentic. what a scammer

mattyj · Apr 26, 2007

maybe Clyde stuffed up and accidently #'d 2 of them 022/100 instead of 023/100 ??

The one on Ebay doesnt look fake to me.

It's numbering looks pretty smick. Yours looks pretty average.

Just my opinion.

bigsarg7 · Apr 26, 2007

I think the second 2 on the ebay one has been changed. On Glide22's card, the 022 is very exact on the height of teh writing and all the hand-numbered fleer cards have the same writing. The auctions numbering (022) seems different heights/

I could be wrong but just my opinion

but both 2's look different, glides are both the same.

suspicious muchh?

graham · Apr 26, 2007

Find another example of these cards - yours looks like its in different pen from the auto, the other in the same pen as the auto. Find another, compare the numbering and you will have a better indication.

Heres a TMAC - http://cgi.ebay.com/97-98-SKYBOX-AU...0QQihZ008QQcategoryZ55970QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

EDIT - heres a Rasheed Wallace UNNUMBERED!!!!! - http://cgi.ebay.com/98-SKYBOX-AUTOG...9QQihZ008QQcategoryZ60530QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Auction says

USUALLY CENTURY VERSION HAS A SERIAL NUMBER TO 100, BUT THIS CARD WAS PULLED FROM 00-01 FLEER PLATINUM RACK PACK AS A BUY BACK CARD.

Fleer Platinum wasnt made in 00-01, only 01-02 according to the Beckett Annual, and no mention of Buy Backs. Maybe someone with some knowledge can shed some light on this. What it appears has happened has someone has got hold of one of these buy backs and numbered it. Which one is which ??

card_craze · Apr 26, 2007

the freakish part is that the number '22' on both cards are not the same, as if they were written by different persons....

If you look carefully in the ebay auction the '2' number has a loop, while the other card does not have the number. But both cards and signatures on them look legit.

I've heard that some players gave cards away to their fans/friends/relatives, these cards came from SkyBox, but they do not have the embossed authenticity stamp, I would thought BGS wouldn't pass Glide22's card if it's not stamped. So if the card on ebay is not stamped, it could be these cards that were not meant to be distributed.

In any case, both cards look legit to me. But if I were you, I will definitely contact the seller - see what he has to say.

Glide22 · Apr 26, 2007

ive just sent an email to beckett with the same info as my first post. see what they have to say in the next few days. will keep you posted on that.

-my card has the circular skybox logo embossed (stamped) over drexlers left knee
-drexlers auto on my card is thin compared to numbering
-drexlers auto on my card is fairly similar compared to my other autos except for the last bit after the 'X', its too big a loop

-ebays second '2' looks like it was a '1'
-although, the auto and number are the same pen size
-whether his is embossed, ill find out.

you'd think after its been thru beckett grading they should pick these things up if it were a fake. or are they really that blind?

interesting stuff...

It's amazing what they don't see if you slip some extra notes in the package

Anything further on this ?

WoobieZarz · May 3, 2007

I still can't see the differences in the two "2s" on the ebay listing.

The 2s on your card don't match the "100".

Good luck, I'm interested in knowing any (if any) outcome....

Noticed the same thing, let us know what the outcome is.

Why has everyone missed this point.

PLAYERS DO NOT NUMBER THE CARDS, they only sign them and send them back to UD or Fleer. People at UD or Fleer then hand number the cards. I remember reading about it in Beckett one time and a thread being about hand numbering on the Beckett boards.

Good point scott, thats probably why the numbering looks different and 2 can easily have been numbered the same.
At the same time, if a version of the card has been released with no numbering, then some one can easily number it themselves!
