I agree they do not look good but someone must have taken the stickers and labels off other cards and affixed these to them. Since I do not know how I can look the sticker numer up on topps sight I can't tell if they took them off a card of little value or counterfeited the stickers too. Any dieas- does Topps have a way to look up sticker numbers?

It wouldn't be difficult at all to manipulate these cards using the Topps originals. The only cards like this I buy from Topps are buyback cards from the Topps Archives Signature Series that carry a Topps stamp on the front.

Seems like even that is not foolproof. We've seen cards that have stamping that appears to be counterfeited. It's a shame that something like this can be ruined by forgery, counterfeiting and greed.

I still buy uncertified autographs, but mostly low dollar stuff. I try to get all my certified stuff when it is new, being pulled from packs. Again, not foolproof, but I am more comfortable buying a certified card when there are 4-5 copies available at a time, most if not all being busted from new wax and tossed right up on ebay.

With the various forged/counterfeit cards that I've been exposing for the past year with fake holograms, etc., anything is possible.

As far as I know, there is no Topps database that cross-references those hologram numbers.

I was waiting for you to comment. I read your counterfeit posts and I'm blown away by all of the deception. Really makes it hard to know for certain anymore what is the real deal.

I called topps on the phone and spoke to a customer service person. They couldn't tell me how to look up the numbers on the back of the cards and they wouldn't connect me to someone higher up when I said someone might be forging their cards. What a company

That's really disappointing

I don't know if I would hold that against Topps. A lone customer service rep doesn't represent the finality of anything.
