I bought a "fuzzy-photoed" T205 Ford (white cap) on eBay several years ago as the asking price seemed fairly reasonable...SO OBVIOUSLY a fake when I received it.

The seller DID refund my money, but only after grumbling to me that "it IS a T205, but he DIDN'T say that it was a REAL one..."



I STILL NEED THAT CARD...

On the bright side, there's probably less Jose Canseco fake rookies than there are real ones.

About 10 years ago I started into the collecting world of Exhibits cards. I purchased a small stack (6-7 cards) of the 1939-1946 Exhibits for about $100 or so, mainly to get the Ted Williams (#9 not showing) card, but there were several other HOFs in there as well. All the cards turned out to be the "gray cardboard back" reprints worth about $1 each (of course I did not realize that until I had sent 3 of them to PSA at $7 a pop to grade). Double the financial loss.

I don't collect any cards though I may have been fooled by a few implants!!! I thought they were real.....

First mistake was buying a lot at a local antique auction. A few real cards and a few real fake cards--a Caramel LaJoie and a National Game WaJo.

Ebay mistake was one of those last minute rushed bids, too good to be real deals. You have to read the small print--but I do now own a fake late 1940s Tip Top bread Spahn.

Last November bought Andy Pafko 1952 topps raw for $350 turns out to be recolored. Buying so many cards this is going to happen. The issue is the big winner here is the TPG's as these same cards are resold and regraded over and over. I decided to put the card in an authentic holder, so it does not recirculate. Is there an alternative solution?

Don't mean to sound harsh, but it makes zero sense why you got an 'A' grade because you don't want it to 'recirculate', then why would you offer it up to sell (if it's indeed yours, I don't know your eBay tag) when they can crack it out and a TPG could throw a number on it.

The only true way of it never recirculating is to keep it in your collection forever or to destroy it so that no one else gets duped.
