Cleaning up. 10 minutes of looking and found some scandalous fakes...
Bored, looking on the bay for fake MJ Fleer Rookie listings and found a couple.
Stopped after I saw this seller trying to sell his crap for a G.
This guy is great...
mikeastasio-----FAKE MJ LISTING
listing number
#300812534541
Here's another hero. This guy has it listed as "Authentic-Original"...LMFAO
jerrymc03------FAKE MJ LISTING
listing number
#251181260928
Sure there are more and I will find them!! Very offensive to me when idiotic people want to try and get away with ripping us dedicated collectors to pieces.
It's very critical to find these people and call them out or report them if possible.
I sent these two sellers a warning message. If their listings are not changed or removed, eBay will be notified.

LMAO! I am going to hunt them down, send them a couple of harassing emails, and then report their behinds... Good looking out, mickey7mantle7.

RE: Cleaning up. 10 minutes of looking and found some scandalous fakes...
yea guys..thanks. He removed the listing earlier and messaged me a few times. He wasn't mean about it, but seemed butt hurt regarding the fact he bought a fake...not a reprint---
the jerrymc03 guy messaged me asking what was fake about it. I sent him a link/guide to figure it out himself. He did, he messaged back saying that he knows why its a fake and says he's taking it back to the LCS to return it. First of all, if the LCS sold it to you and said it's real, then they are just as dumb and ignorant for not knowing the difference. NEVER buy something you are not knowledgable with. Duh. Assuming his story pans out...
How can a legit card shop sell someone a fake MJ claiming it's real? Amazing.
I bought mine from a LCS that I frequent when the $$$$ is available
The owner is a good guy who know's his stuff as I do too. That's why I pulled the trigger on mine because I know it's a legit MJ rookie and the price was standard for one in this condition.

Only time I'd buy an ungraded MJ RC is in person... so I can check out the details...
When I buy one online, it's going to be graded.. even if it is only a BGS-8... as long as the 4 corners look pointed. I'm good!! but don't got the funds to buy one at the moment... & usually when I do, I end up buying other cards, because I know MJ RC's will be around forever...

That's great! Way to call em out on that b.s., I wouldn't be suprised if they both knew what they had. I'm sure they would say anything to get the subject dropped.

My thoughts exactly.. They all play dumb when they get caught.
