Topps Premier Gold 2013-14

Sorry - i did not know that you were an expert on what Pele might have worn and where he might have ever played a charity game. My mistake.

If your so convinced go and report it to the FBI and let this thread get back on topic. People want to come in here and have a chat about this product and what they are buying. Not your conspiracy theory bulls*** about other products.

Haters gonna hate as they say.

Likewise to those that make statements about Futera, go to the FBI, I have said this before. Gosh the anger over a well researched article that should be congratulated on is causing quite a lot of anger, interesting.

So go start another thread instead of hijacking this one.

God forbid people just enjoy collecting cards.

I'm not sure anyone here could care less about said article. I don't even know what article you're talking about?

HAHA if you bring Muscat in as a moderator I might back down. I reckon I could take Keano though!!

Ok. Soccer Dan has done well to point out possible errors with that card. Hopefully the truth comes out about it.

has any one got their cards yet that they have paid for from ebay. Would like to see what they look like for real and not
just the ebay pictures since some leave a bit to be desired.

LOL, nah none in hand loads in transit...but to add to what has become a chat to loosely irritate others, here's my ebay pics of all my incoming cards:

Haven't got a pic of my Fellaini Gold auto /50 as I didn't buy it from the bay. My Young Patch auto and Gold patch both have a bit of auto or at least sharpie on the material.. I wonder if they had signed kits or something at an event and cut those up for the cards? Pretty random!! I remember some old kit room cards and I think Rishgoon has one of the Arsenal ones(?) that also had partial auto's on them

 

[shawnkemp40]

BTW - Anyone thinking "I'm gonna get a case or box and pull the Platinum CR7 auto 1/1" Forget it!! It was pulled today in San Francisco!
Shite placement of the auto, and you would think they would have found the few of the well placed sticker autos for the 1/1 but .. it is what it is THE CR7 Platinum 1/1. The premier card of this release
I laughed my A off at his quote at the end pics of his many many decent hits...
This : "OH YEAH ALMOST FORGOT THIS ONE!!! STILL CANT BELIEVE I PULLED THIS! CRISTIANO RONALDO TIER ONE PLATINUM AUTOGRAPH 1/1"

Hahaha, Soccer Dan started all this then he pissed off and left me in the blue corner on my own

 

[gregwa72]

my couple are in transit as well coming from Hong Kong. Will have some cards that i will trade to others for cards as well
since i got a lot and i only need one card from it that is this
2013 Topps Premier Gold Midfield Maestros Hazard Gerrard Silva No DUPS Lot 11


and will be happy to trade the others for Manchester United Base from this set.

 

[BoondasH1]

WOW all this for a bit of cardboard with ink on it

Futera, Select & ESP

I've come across about 6 Gerrard auto's in the past few days, man this release is really mass produced. I'm taking a break and holding off from buying anymore, a few more weeks should see the prices really come down more.

Talking about mass produced, how's everyone's A-League collection going? The hype has died down on this release and I've noticed the gold foil chip off on the signature cards?

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

Gerrard was going for about $130-$160
this one sold for $104

John Barnes has been coming down as well

The front of the card says "Game Worn Memorabilia Pele"

Back of the cards says "Used Memorabilia of Pele"

Very, very clear that this sold by Topps as a Game worn Pele memorabilia card. A Topps Fake.

He could have played 5 a side 'game' for 10 seconds and this would still be game worn. Unsure how it's a fake if on the back they just mention it's memorabilia of Pele. Pretty much covers ANYTHING that Pele has owned/worn/used.

 

[banzini]

Lol, what? Would've been a bit stupid of me to ask him if the directors signature was his, as opposed to the weird looking signature that was similar to his. But believe what you want to believe.

All I've been trying to do is say buyer beware: some Futera autos, not all, are suspect. Try and keep an open mind, and stop being so precious.

Just need to ebay search 'Futera auto' by soccer category to see they all have the same pen used, same colour, signed in the same position with the same 'weight'. Glad I haven't spent any money on Futera autos. Much prefer Topps autos as they have pictures of the guys signing the sticker sheets.

Is this the article?:

LOL:

"Gotta love the chain of order. UD buys fake jersey to make into cards. random guy pulls one of the cards and sells it on ebay. another guy buys that card, and takes out the fake jersey and replaces it with another fake jersey piece."

Round 2 ... the red corner have come out fighting ... Again.
Hello, not the same position signing on cards, look on ebay, then you know this knowledge is ridiculous. The Topps picture is of 4 guys only signing something that no one can see exactly what it is, smoke and mirrors Topps.
Topps use same blue pen on all the cards, so based on the above claim those Topps cards are Fake. It is well known that Topps sends out a package of sticky tape sheets, pens, instructions and return envelope to many of the players.
Much prefer transparency of being told where and when autograph is signed, and a publisher signs off on the authenticity of those on-card signed cards, glad I Have not wasted money on 99 cents Topps sellotape autographs http://www.ebay.com/itm/26136975200...l?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=261369752001&_rdc=1.
