ACOFIND listing more fake items on eBay

[Archive]

Posted By: David Smith

I have been trying to alert EVERY ONE that I can about eBay seller ACOFIND. Last week, they had a fake 1928 Babe Ruth Candy wrapper lsited and a reprint of a 1960 Mickey Mantle Bazooka Bubble Gum card. Unfortunately, both were bid on and people are going to lose their money in this scam.

NOW, ACOFIND has listed three more fake items; a reprinted 1926 Louisville Slugger baseball book, a 1906 Cubs team picture and a 1913 Major League baseball game lid.

Just a warning,

David

I'll add jonesfan10 to the list of fraudulent ebay sellers. He shows up every so often with Goudeys that are forgeries. Stay away.

I would like to get this seller shut down too....but pardon my ignorance. I just viewed the 3 items in question. Yes, they look fake to me but what can I tell my contact so he knows positively they are fake? Like I said before I am really only going after the low hanging fruit although these do look fake to me....and should be shut down. Still, I have to give a good reason they are in fact fake....The private auction format is almost always a bad sign but that, in and of itself, isn't enough...thanks...

The "1913 Major League Game" now on ebay http://tinyurl.com/2352ku has as much chance of being real as exists for a T206 being real when printed on a wood block.

The game box is actually wooden, not cardboard.

I just sent this string to my contact.....we'll see.....I agree that the box looks fake...also the pictures are very fuzzy looking and on real lithography they aren't that way, at least from any real items I remember...regards

I took a quick look through REA's closed auctions but couldn't find a photo of the game. If someone has a photo of the real box and can post it, I'm sure it would assist ebay.

(now wondering if my cork backed T206s purchased at the MOMA [some might call them "coasters" ] might be vintage cards )

Leon and Max,

Thanks for your help with ACOFIND!!!!! At least there will be one piece he can't steal money from people with.

Much appreciated,

David
