The REAL versions were released in 2009 Ultimate NOT 2008 Ultimate. Here is what the real what looks like:

That is just sick that one went for almost a G

Yeah it crazy!!! marinocollector was pointing this out on another forum. Cant wait to hear him chime in. You would think people would do homework when spending almost a G!!!

[Marinoisking]

dude I usually check something out if I am spending 10 lol
You cant be to cautious when you are paying for something days before you get to hold it in your hands.

i want to puke....really Bakerman.... this is freekin sickening....NONE look real so it aint to tough to check them out for these poor slobs.....so sad.

ok now that just freaks me out. If they can fake that good why not just fake the real thing? Is the ones you posted a different card maybe and they stole a scan of the originals back or something? I mean other then the auto's not flowing as fast as marino's normally do at the tail ends, what else is fake?

I don't understand how the 3 posted links are fakes. They all have the back of the cards pictured with COA's from their companies; are fakers forging those as well now?!
Someone please educate me on this subject, unfortunately I don't get these ones at all...

They were never released, the cards somehow got out without the auto and people are forging an auto, at least that is my understanding of this situation. Not that I could ever afford to spend that in the first place so therefore I would never lose out like that.

The first 3 links are cards from 2008 Ultimate NOT 2009 Ultimate which is when the Marino legend card was released for the set. The scan should clearly dictate that. The 2008 card is real and Marino was scheduled to sign the 08 version but UD never paid Marino so Marino never signed until 2009 when UD released the newer version. Somehow the 08 cards were forged and now are on the market.

The 3 links to eBay are 100% fake!!!

I also agree with you that on one of the Marinos the auto does look really close but not close enough.
