Fake D304's

[ctownboy]

This sounds a LOT like the guy a few years ago from San Diego who came on this board and was trying to rip people off. He supposedly had numerous Goudey Ruths and 1952 Topps Mantles.

He used one name to say he knew this guy who owned them and then used a different name to say he WAS the guy who owned them. There were a few different threads about this guy. Once the scam was brought to light, he came back on and was taunting board members.

I actually like this info. Thank you.

We've seen these particluar reprint D304s for quite a while around here and if this gentleman is passing them off as real then I'm glad someone has finally outed him. I've wondered where they originate from and hope they go away.

I get a lot of inquiries about these via email asking whether or not they are real. It's surprising how plentiful they are. This guy must have made some money off of them at some time because they're everywhere and they're made to deceive.

The original post is quite interesting. I have seldom had one post break so many rules at one time. I don't know whether to just blow off the warning and ban the original poster or thank him? At minimum there are a fewl things that will be taken care of almost immediately....LL

addendum....I gave the original poster a call. He and I had a great conversation. He just didn't realize the correct way to do what he is doing. I think we are all good now....thanks to everyone that has helped him too...
