insert counterfeit questions

[xavieronly1]

How do people fake autographics? Any samples of the fakes? Would like to know since I collect autographics!

Clean the black color and put blue color auto on 96-97 one. (double in value)

Fleer sold some blank cards without auto, and some employee carried all those extra blank autographics backdoor. It is not hard to put fake auto on top of it.

im really suspicious of that card.. it sold so high because muggsy signed his full name unlike most of his autographs on that year.

I don't know if they are real or not. I have my opinion, but I'll leave that for other to decide on their own. I will say this tho. That particular seller has had a number of Charles Oakley '97 Autographics cards for sale in the past couple weeks (about 1-2 a week). This week he has 3 up. It's possible to bust aa bunch of cases and get a few of these Oakley cards, but the seller list one or two a week.

Same story with this card: http://cgi.ebay.com/CHARLES-BARKLEY-...#ht_1097wt_842 The seller has this one up there every week too. Does he have all 3,400 that were made? Maybe he does.

Like I said, i have my opinion. I collect a lot of 90's inserts and just want to know what everyone else thinks? Thanks to all who have commented!!!

Yeah it's hard to know if 90's Fleer inserts were part of the bankruptcy, lord I hope not. I would imagine they would look like the real thing if they were...

I think 90's inserts from non-fleer brands are probably nothing to worry about though, with the exception of a very small percentage.

those autographics he has look like the players signed recently. anyways. he also have a bunch of fleer coach signatures of the same serial numbers(hand signed) or maybe hes just using the same picture

Well..unfortunately, I think it's COMING!! W/MJ 90's inserts selling so high..RAW. How could people NOT be tempted. Now I know for a fact that people are starting to unload all the 'Fleer Bankrupty' stuff now. I have personally, bought some stuff from a guy that has never been in circulation. I picked up '2' Marcus Camby 97-98 Metal Univ. 'Hardware'>> Gem mint 10 if I ever saw it.
I know regular...but nicer, Jordan '$20' inserts are fetching upwards of $50+ and a graded 9.5 $40 insert is gettin upwards of $1200. I've been introduced to the massive Jordan graded insert world and shown it's in's & out's and am now afraid to even buy ANY Jordan on Ebay. TOO expensive for my blood.
I'll stick w/ my Camby's..LOL.

I'd have to say some of his better ones are:

97-98
Big Men on Court
Metal Univ. 'Hardware'
Ultra 'Ultra-ablilites' (3 Teirs)
Ultra 'Stars' (3 Teirs')
Premium 'Premium Player'
Precious Metal Gems
Hmm..offhand I can't think of any..but, just check my bucket
Personal Collection...then Click on Camby..and they're all broken down by year.
