NYCCARDVAULT ebay seller - trustworthy? - coltsfansince85 - 04-04-2014

I seem to recall seeing this seller in another member's thread questioning the authenticity of a printing plate. I've never purchased one, so a little advice would be appreciated!

They are back door issues from the bankruptcy. Legit? Possibly, but not pack inserted.

Kind of what I figured. Thanks!

He's making his own printing plates. He's taking scanned images of card, using a sepia tone, and then has the images put on metal sheets. You can tell its not real because the gold foil on the Edgerrin James would not appear on a real printing plate.
For example, look at this NT plate:

Notice there is no foil area where it appears on the real card?
If it was a real Pacific printing plate, it would show a white "cloud" image where the name appears, instead of the gold lettered name.

If your asking about the plate in your scan, I am pretty sure that Pacific never released any plates for Aurora, and that they destroyed their plates after the printing run was done
