Thanks Giants for all of your work through this process. It's a boatload, as anyone who has sent in cards for grading would know. I'm glad to see my little gift got you a 9!!


Thought I'd put this up here too, just for you guys to see as well...sorry if you read both posts.


Okay, so here's the deal on the patch... all along I have actually thought it was probably a fake. You've never seen me say anything to the contrary in any of my threads, ever.

Unfortunately I knew this was the risk of sending it in for authentication. So, while I've known in my heart of hearts that it probably wasn't real, it's still a blow to my card collecting psyche to officially hear the bad news.

The truth about all of it?? It makes me the most sad to see people ruin perfectly good cards to make an extra buck...these cards are amazing up close and personal. This hobby used to be about fun, not about making a profit. Unfortunately there will always be greedy bastards out to do just that...and sometimes this is why I think about quitting. Too often you have to rely on others to get the cards you want. If I could pull all of my own PC cards, then I wouldn't need to bother with anyone else and I'd be happier. Until I ran into the guy who was opening boxes and resealing them...


On the semi-bright side, this means the other jumbos I have are really /48 and not /50. There's one other HUGE fake out there. I tried to buy this a few times, just to get it off the market. It switched hands about 15 times and ended up with another big Ricky fan. Not sure what he did with it though...

It says the video is private?? I want to see your goodies too!!!

I wasn't going to say any thing, but since you brought it up...
They didn't kick the card for the patch. The said the bottom left front corner was re-colored......

Video is fixed now....
