We dont talk about this alot on this board so I wanted to make a thread letting veteran and new collectors know whats going on. When buying patch cards, be very careful. There are alot of fakes out there nowadays and try to do the most research you can on a card before you buy it. Always examine the windows to look for damage, research past autctions to see if the card has been sold before with different patches or regular jerseys in them and if others from the same set have similar patches in them, obviously research the seller, and always post concerns on here if you feel an auction may have a fraudulent card (i think you can just copy the image of the card and post it to the site, since you can post auctions that havent ended). On the other site im active on, we just discovered a quad patch card of jordan, lebron, kobe, and garnett. The seller posted a picture of the card and hide the serial number. I did some research and found a new buyer that had bought a quad jersey card that looked just like the quad patch card. I then looked at his buying history and he had bought a few low end patches from bulls players, a low end dual laker patch card, and a low end t-wolves patch card. The patch that was in place for garnett was the same patch that was in the t-wolves card. Scammers are getting better and better at what they do, its up to us to look out for one another and ofcourse ourselves. Dont let this thread scare you, there are still a ton of honest people out there with patch cards that are nasty and were pack pulled, just use good judgement. If anyone has any other good clues to look for, post them here.
