Topps Alternate Reality should be a, uh, reality!

on March 14th, 2010 by handcollated

Steve at White Sox Cards did his own photoshopping and created a nice Derek Jeter card.  I didn’t see what was wrong with it until he pointed it out, to be honest.  He even proposed a set name – Topps Alternate Reality.
Perhaps us bloggers should give Topps a head start in putting this set together [...]

Fake!

on March 14th, 2010 by Grand Cards

This is the first time that I’ve seen this happen in a Curtis Granderson card. I happened upon it while I was doing my semi-regular perusal of listed and sold cards. All of a sudden…BAM!

That there is a Fakey McFakerson 1/1 Superfake Fake Card.

Now, I’m no Sportscards Uncensored, but I know my Granderson cards after two years of supercollecting.  The sad thing is that I didn’t catch this listing when it was still active, which means that some poor sucker got stuck with a $247 bill and the seller, Steelerswheel71, got away with it.

For the record, I posted about the non-fake Granderson card back when it first came out.  It looks like this:

Jumbo Patch taken from the numbers on the back of the Jersey. Verlander’s is the same way:

For shame, patch faker. For shame.
