Questionable Authenticity
|
I sent a 1985 Topps Mark McGwire RC to BGS and it didn't grade due to "Questionable Authenticity". are people really counterfeiting this card? Has anyone else come across this? I have owned a few of these and this one didn't have anything that jumped out to me that would make me thing, this is fake...It could just be a good one. Could BGS be wrong and should I try resubbing it? looking for opinions..
Thanks! ![[Image: ce8f6545-0bdb-49f7-be76-b13239e656d6_zps6d8f6973.png]](http://s965.photobucket.com/user/redskins316/media/ce8f6545-0bdb-49f7-be76-b13239e656d6_zps6d8f6973.png.html)

Back when McGwire hit 70 home runs that was a $100+ card, so yes people started to create forgeries of it. Now that card can be found fairly cheaply, sometimes even in $1 bins. So while it wouldn't make sense to create fakes now, back in the late 90s there was plenty of monetary reasons to do so.

That makes a ton of sense....Not sure why I didn't think of that...

I submitted a card to Beckett several years ago and they sent it back saying the same thing. So I had a buddy resub it to them under his account and it came back with the same results. Then it went to PSA & SGC afterwards. All three said the same thing, fake.
I would tell you to save the money of trying to resub it someplace else and just accept it is a fake. I wish I had. But my card was also several thousand dollars. Luckily I was able to block payment for the card through my credit card company as the seller went dark shortly afterwards. Glad you're not out a bunch of money. |
