Fraudosynthesis
Ran across this auction today, and it made me coin a new term...
Fraudosynthesis Leaving a card out in the sun for a long time, and then attempting to convert the inevitable color fading into the energy of big-time dollar signs by calling it a ‘missing ink’ variation. And there's this... See also: Sunblather - trying to convince someone that an obviously sun-bleached card is a rare, missing ink variation. https://www.ebay.com/itm/11543171453...IAAOSwmR1giXZ1 The Bench was obviously a 'normal' card that got graded an 8, but then the mean, old sun threw his rays at it for a free Hollywood bleach job and VOILA! it arrived in its present state... s-l1600-2.jpg But the seller insists this is a MISSING YELLOW FACTORY INK ERROR card. And, of course, the survey says, "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Wouldn't the first question anyone on the planet asked be, "If PSA graded the faded card itself an 8, wouldn't/shouldn't there be, at a minimum, a PD (print defect) qualifier on the label to account for what it looks like??????" Think I'm wrong? Grab it for a cool $2,500 and be the envy of your friends.
