Fake Patch


Archived Original Patch:

I thought I remember this cards being re-patched, then some story about it being patched back to the original. I don't know. Getting too old to keep all these stores straight. Anyways, the fake is back in and slabbed.


Cheers!

UPDATE -


I contacted the seller and they told me to take the issue up with PSA. Like a high-end dealer like that doesn't know PSA doesn't authenticate patches; only grades the condition. Oh well, now hopefully you all have a little insight about this seller!

Yes sir, that guy is a joke! That Ovechkin 09/99 he has listed is also FAKE! I wouldn't bid on any of this guys auctions when I see him listing junk like this. Pathetic

Lol that Ovechkin doesnt even look close

Add in its a PSA 5 but mint to the naked eye means something's up

Cards are being sold by a consigner. No way to say whose cards they are and who faked them. Could be possible that the listed selling (in accepting the items) didn't know they were faked?

When you see big time cards come through your door, and think about the 10%ish your making on consignment ..... your card intuition is blocked by $$$

What would eBay say if you reported it as a fake item? As you have proof and you took the initial step of getting the seller to take it down so no one else buys a fraudulent piece of merchandise. You would think if the seller did not take it down eBay would.

As the other person posted it all about dollars.

You think PSA would in the future take time to check out cards that are easily faked to help their reputation. As you showed it only takes a few seconds to verify if it fake or not.

So, I just re-entered the hobby so forgive my ignorance, but what's the easiest way to tell if the patch has been replaced/repatched?

For instance, a quick glance of the Ovechkin Cup RPA and I would think it's 100% legit. Also since Probstein is selling it...

After some research, I now know that this card has been repatched multiple times but what if I don't have that luxury?

Well with Cup Cards collectors have been putting a master list of original patches when they get pulled. So they use these lists as comparisons when they see they new listings to see if they have been replaced with new patches.

I am sure some of the other collectors will give you link to those sites if u wish.

If you do not have the luxury you could easily end up with a fake.

It's interesting that the consigner didn't remove the auction when notified - I've let him know about other fakes in the past, and he's always been responsive.

Eberle is fake too, so is the Ovechkin
