I don't follow one aspect of this story. You say you bought the Jordan with no intent to sell it. You put it away for your son. So why did you end up sending it to Rick?

I sent the Reggie to Rick, not the Jordan.

I'm about to proofread this whole thing from my PC now that I have the pics up to make sure I got it all making sense!

Except that this guy is known by at least 2 authorities, not associated at all, and is probably not a good guy anyway, you really need your full name in your posts per our rules. Read what is at the top of every page in bold print concerning opinions. Nothing personal. Thanks, welcome to the forum and sorry for your misfortune.

Thanks Leon, no hard feelings here! Sorry about the rules, I will dig in a bit further tonight to try and avoid any other snafu's. I edited it to have my name in my story is there an easy way to put this in my signature? Thanks again!

You are good...thanks for your understanding. It's actually a pretty good rule. And no need to dig, it's almost the only rule which is different than most forums...the rest are fairly common sense, I think.

Ah ok. I thought you were talking about Jordan because you said something about the Reggie not cracking the same way.

Faking a Dmitri Young is a nice touch. Dude has a sense of humor or in your face or whatever.

Like Jon and you, how would one really know until it is too late?

I mean the flip looks good, the number crosses, etc, etc.

How many more are out there that current owners don't realize are fake?

So, to verify if I am correct, these are real cards but are not in the class/grade the flip classifies them as?

Scammer gets real slabs but puts altered/trimmed, virtually worthless cards in them and fools people thinking they're the real deal?

How would one know if these were on E-Bay or an A/H without being able to put it in their hand, and even then, like Jon, unless you had one to compare it with, with you, you would, in most cases, assume it is real.
