Bogus Doublefolds on eBay

[Bocabirdman]

Gee isn't that identical paper loss on the back of each card convenient? This seller also has a lot of 54 Dan Dee cards with the same paper loss. He also has a lot of Fan Craze but I don't know enough about THEM to confirm their being bogus. I have reported the Mecca and the Dan Dee.

Here is a link to the lot

Here is a link to an actual reprint for sale as a reprint

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-Mecca-D...item48546d9e68

Here is a lot of reprint Dan Dees

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1954-DAN-DEE...item2c5d6d4006

Here is the lot with the "reprint" obscured by paper loss.

Thanks for the heads up. Isn't it amazing how the paper loss on cards happens an unusual amount of times right where the word "reprint" would have been? What a coincidence!!

Leon, Have you an opinion on the Fan Craze lot? I don't know that issue enough to declare them bogus as well.

The Fan Craze are fake too. The player images are too dark and muddy looking. Still, a 97% seller feedback rating has got to boost confidence

EDITED to add: The artificial aging on the Fan Craze backs is amateurish also. I haven't collected this set in more than ten years but I don't recall ever seeing a Fan Craze card with that type and extent of back "wear".

Todd, Thaks for chiming in. I thought they were sham also but wan't sure. I reported the Mecca and the Dan-Dee before I left the house this morning. I cannot access eBay here at work. If you would be so kind, please report the Fan Craze as bogus.....

As Todd said, bad fakes. Not even good ones. They should be crisp pictures on the cards. And the backs should be bright, like this one.

Larry Fritsch produced the Fan Craze reprint set about 10-15 years ago, no?

"First" produced, we should say -- still available here:
