Real or Fake Grant Hill Autographics? - bjho1983 - 10-15-2012
Somehow I came across this closed Grant Hill Autographics card listing when surfing around the internet....
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1996-97-SKYBOX-AUTOGRAPHICS-GRANT-HILL-PISTONS-ON-CARD-AUTO-BLACK-/271077313776?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&nma=true&si=MjfEjTy8ArW29y5P69pHuvqNmmY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Do you think that it's real or fake?

The card appears to have the SkyBox stamp on it and the printing looks right on the card. Why do you think it could be a fake?

At a first glance, I feel that it's probably real too. The card color looks right, the stamp is there.
But I know that there are so many counterfeits on the market for this set. With improving technology these days, I am curious.

Its real. Looks just like mine (which got graded an 8.5 by Beckett).

The color fading from white to blue is good, autograph is consistent with most of his other signatures that year, and chipping along the edges is consistent with the condition sensitive set.

I've never actually seen a fake autographics card, always hear about them, but I've never seen one
