Horrible fakes.

Here are some ways to bring this scammer down:

1. Win one of his auctions and pay. Then file a paypal claim (hope to get your money back) and leave negative feedback, alerting potential future buyers that his items are fake.

2. Alert recent buyers that the item they won is fake. Tell them to file a paypal claim and add to their feedback saying that the item is fake.

Buyer: nycsportsstore4u (101), winner of item #110507460378

*I will post more buyers once I find out who they are.

3. Alert others of this scammer so people do not buy from him in the future.

4. Alert ebay that the items he is selling are fake/Report the items he is selling.

If anyone has any other ideas as to bring this guy down, please don't hesitate to contribute.

Thanks,
Andrew

the guys not even smart enough to use a different color ink. And the fact he has to put "these are 100% authentic" in the description is pretty sad

Do you have proof they are fake?

man i can do good fakes of bron and jordan. i need to slap them on cards and start selling!

[jpleazme]

how can you get a COA, if you got the autos at a game.... unless it was a fan day... those autos don't look very good. I'd never buy an auto... even framed autos from respected businesses... i've seen a lot of stores make their own COA, saying they authenticated the auto themselves... anybody could be crooked... even big companies like UD & TOPPS... who knows, they might of put out fake autos... just like the fake game cards they got caught with. or was that an over production that they did on the side to make some extra money.... ??








also, got a bunch of Luke Walton... trying to find Sasha & Kobe (CITY NAME 1/1)
got a few Joe Crawford in lakers uniform, even though I do not care for him.

Do you have proof they are fake?

The auto's are terrible looking and nowhere even close to any certified or even ip autos I have seen.

Also important to note that all of the autos are of great money stars. Often times people selling legit IP autos have a great variety of stars from low end to high end.

Sometimes you don't need scientific proof to figure out that these are fakes, and in the world of sports memorabilia and cards, assume everything is fake until proven real. Seriously, protect yourself!
