Default D304 Authenticity Question

Posted By: Paul

Do any of you have opinions as to the authenticity of this card? The back looks a little funny to me. But I though most of the bad ones had General Baking backs. Thanks.

If the ink on the back is black and not green, it is fake.

I would say fake. Looks like it was baked right along with the bread.

That bottom edge looks like the front and back were glued together. Poorly.

The person selling this card has a high feedback rating (over 3500 with 100%). They guarantee it is real and will refund your money if it is found to not be real. Final bid was $102.50 but the reserve wasn't met. I just wonder what the reserve was.

His asking price was just $150, which did sound a little too good to be true. I passed on the card because of the information posted here. His feedback is excellent and he probably would keep his promise to provide a refund if the card proved to be fake. But he also says he knows very little about cards.

This card is fake, it was sold by another ebay ID and returned to the seller and negative feedback was left. The same ID tried to keep selling it and I turned it in. I am almost 100% sure it is the same card. The corners look artificially rounded though the name font looks to be ok which is the best way to tell D304 fakes. If the dot pattern of the picture extends to the name font, it is fake. Dan.

Just saw JDrum's comment - that is very good!

Dan,

Do you know how long ago that was? Is there an ebay item number that can be referenced?

Thanks!

Probably about 2 months ago? I have no record of the many bogus items I turn in unfortunately. Dan.
