Jerry,
No doubt in my mind the lot from Collect.com is also one of the fakes. IMO you're correct with your gut feeling on this. The lot has the same tell tale signs the other fakes have all had. Which you are correct were most likely copied from the Halper sale catalog.    The signs are as such… A: There is no black border or stroke line around the baseball, also the baseball’s on both the Heritage and Collect.com appear to be hand cut or have a wavy appearance. B: There is a mark on the pinky finger section of the glove (2) little tears this was on the original from the Halper item, it’s clear on both of the other units. C: Once again on the Halper unit one can see the tiny pin holes or marks these also carry over to the other 2 units from Heritage and Collect.com D: The original heavy crease you mentioned from Halper’s example above seem to always be a spot for weak printing or damage on the other 2 units…as the “Church Lady” would say “Isn’t that convenient” These have always been highly questionable items almost like Fro-Joy’s if you will. http://sports.ha.com/common/view_ite...3&src=pr#PHOTO http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.co...omAuction1.pdf To find any other examples with the same damage and markings in the exact same spot seems highly unlikely and should make any good seller or buyer raise an eyebrow. I’m surprised Heritage and now Collect.com didn’t do their homework or catch these sooner. Not the lot I would want to highlight in my first auction unless I was 100% certain it was the real deal… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5EZ9...e=channel_page Not for nothing but this is part of SCD correct? Didn’t SCD take ads from Coaches Corner a known counterfeiter of signs and such? If the above is true there’s some irony…  Cheers, John Last edited by wonkaticket; 05-23-2009 at 10:36 PM.
