I disagree 100%. I believe they are knowingly selling fakes. Some of them are so atrociously awful anyone would be able to tell they are fake if you showed them authentic examples and then the bad ones.

that may very well be. But the point is not whether or not they are knowingly selling fakes. The question was on the authenticity of the Mays item. Just because this seller has obvious fakes (knowingly or not), does not mean the Mays is fake by association.

Ok...but my point was in reference to your comment which you missed I guess (stupid text

). You said they aren't knowingly selling fakes, I said they are.

Of course, I never said the Mays couldn't be authentic. I personally don't like it. I don't like the first letter. But, it doesn't pass the piss test for me.

This is my 1996 auto'd Mays card (reprint of 1966 Topps), for what it's worth as a comparison�
