Then there is the one known as the "Mystery Card". It is semi rare with around 30 known copies. PSA has graded 6 of them that I know of and I have owned 3 of them. Some think it is a test/promo type card. I personally think it is 100% counterfeit and it really isn't debatable to me. The B/W test issue sells from $2-$10 each and the Mystery Cards have sold from $50 to $150 and $400 to $900 each for a graded example. |

Bump to note the bad card is now removed from COMC.

Enough weirdness it could be discussed for a long time, (Or 10 seconds) I'm probably who Ben is saying thinks it's not necessarily fake. I'm on the fence. Fakers of that era typically made the same mistakes and made them over and over. That card is a collection of very atypical mistakes, especially a couple that required more work than just copying a card. (effort that Fleer didn't even put into their cards. ) |

Steve really knows printing and I stayed at a Holliday Inn express so we respectfully disagree with each other and that is fine. As far as grading companies go SGC has rejected 2 and Beckett rejected 1 as being counterfeit. PSA has been hit and miss as they have graded 6 as real and rejected some as counterfeit. Here is a pic of the Mystery card and the Test Issue card. Last edited by bnorth; 04-13-2021 at 03:19 PM. |

Looks like he dabbed white out on the card.

There is now a hold on the Ripken card in question.,
And I apologize if it was me for last Friday as I got my 2nd dab on Wednesday. had a not so good reaction, and did not return till Friday and was frankly at half speed that day. The best way, as mjohn will verify, is if you email me I have a much better memory to make data base changes such as this or the DeCinces noted in a different thread. Rich

Another Ripken to NOT buy...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bill-Ripken...QAAOSwnCden5Ya These are FAKE, this guy is a FRAUD, and do NOT buy from him. He has been selling these quite often over the last 6 months, and they are NOT authentic. |

i was gonna suggest he did something else to the card, but that's not a family-type response
