Fake Cards & Garden Gnomes

Until very recently, I had never seen any fake E105s on eBay before. This seller is peddling an unusually eclectic assortment of fakes: E105s, E92s, Star Player Candy, Orange Borders, E253s, E107s, Lections, D380s, etc...



...and, uh, garden gnomes?

Correct, though I would argue there's a difference between a reprint and a fake.

Hey hey hey! I got a K state garden gnome for Father's Day. Let's be careful here.

I love the Mello Mint set, are they pretty pricey? I don't know much about them

I've already gone off on the difference between reprint and counterfeit in the 34 Gehrig thread. Don't make me do it again here!!!

All I'm saying is at least the seller isn't trying to sell it as a legit original card.

Those gnomes are kind of cool. Not sure how they go with Mello Mints but hey, ya never know.

Whenever you get a K-State thing, you ALWAYS must get two of them.

One to shit on, and one to cover it up with.

Yes but a reprint is legal and a counterfeit is a crime. Plus the people buying these things fall into two categories. Dumb people who think there's an outside chance the card is real due to the story so they're willing to throw 5% at it. The other group is those who think, "man that looks pretty good, I bet I could pass that off." and buy it intending to rip off others. Even people who are genuinely in the reprint market don't want these cards.

I hope really hope that this POS gets what is coming to him . This is unacceptable ! This is going to hurt my Garden nome collection now .
Now I need a TPG to guarantee my outstanding nome collection .

Frankly, I was wondering about some of those cards also. Reprinting Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb cards I get. However, who would reprint a W519 Type 1 Eddie Collins card? Link

They aren't reprints. They are counterfeits.
