I made some counterfeit T206 reproductions to sell on eBay, but instead of making clear that these were fakes, I made the area of authenticity very gray. I recognize this as immoral, deceptive, and misleading.

Here is a link to one of the four auctions in question:

Abbatchio Uzit

I seek forgiveness for three things:
1) My actions were wrong. I recognize this and apologize for it.
2) I was confronted about this on Facebook (Tobacco Row) and stretched the truth in order to paint myself in a better light. I seek forgiveness for deceiving Facebook and board members alike.
3) I should have posted this publicly as soon as it happened, yet I delayed in posting to try and preserve my self-image and reputation.

I realize that this whole situation and how I handled it was wrong, and that I have no excuse for my actions.

I have reserved post #2 for the full details of the story. I wrote this out about a week ago. The details of the story below are the truth, but you do not have to read them or even read further than this sentence. I know the last thing I deserve is your forgiveness, but I felt led to communicate this to you knowing that it was wrong to carry on without associating myself publicly with my actions.

Thank you to the board and Facebook members for the encouragement to take this step.

Noah "NJ" Dunkin

Huh??

Are you leaving the hobby?

I believe Leon banished/suspended him for one year. Enjoyed the young blood in the hobby. Hope he stays in it.

I think this situation just shows that nothing good happens when high school boys hang out on Internet chat boards with mostly middle-age adult males.

What’s to stop him from mastering his skills? Going to other Facebook/forums ?
Making more FAKE ebay accounts with the intention of selling fakes and shilling them? Making or already has made a fake net54 user name?

Answer: NOTHING!!!

This is the birth of a card con artist. He’ll be around for years.

Who knows what direction this young man will take, hopefully an honest one, but there are some major card doctors who started quite young.

When you read the OP's words they do not sound like they are coming from a HS kid(see conversations with Kyle)--they sound like an older person. Call me skeptical, but I do not believe he is in HS.
Leon-Has he given you any proof that he is in HS?

No, and there are a few issues at hand. If in fact he is under 18 he shouldn't be on our BST anyway, without a parents approval (I have gotten a few over the years). Secondly before he is allowed back he and I will have a long conversation before he is admitted. If he is good enough to fool me in a long and inquisitive conversation, God Bless him. And also, at which time I will ask to speak to a parent.
ps...skinhead affiliated person is gone.

I'm not sure which route of insinuation this comment is supposed to take, but I don't think I want to go down any of those paths.

A big Pre-War card group on Facebook has been well notified of his existence. He actually tried joining, and his first post was an admission or something (I forget if it was in response to someone calling him out after they recognized the name). I'm sure other card communities on social media are being made aware of his existence.

Full-heartily agree. I think he has more to hide than what he's leading onto. There is a lot in his story that doesn't make sense.

I agree but I hope that his/her getting pinched on this forum is the end in the hobby for this person, maybe he/she rights themselves and this episode is not just their "gateway drug" to bigger and more sophisticated scams...
