Heads up Fake/Altered Hull Peerless Patches

[one20]

Just wanted to give a heads up on a faked/altered Brett Hull 2011-12 Dominion Peerless Patches I came across on ebay. I am not trying to accuse the ebay seller of altering the card as the original image I have is from Aug 2014 and the card could have changed hands an unknown number of times since. I am also not here to debate my usage of the word "Fake" to describe the card. I Just wanted to make those in the hobby aware.

I first saw this card on ebay back in Aug 2014. At that time the card was put on my watched list. Not long after it sold, I saved a copy of the image and a copy of the completed listing. I do this from time to time to keep my own records on what Hull patches are out there and what they sold for.


A PDF copy I made of the Aug 2014 closed/sold listing can be seen HERE

I have seen several posts lately questioning the authenticity of a patch and just want to put the info I have on this card out there.

That seller absolutely knows they are fake. I seen him sell a Tomas Hertl NT booklet a while ago with an amazing patch. . I was very interested until I realized that card was the jersey prime variation ... so how did it end up with a shark head logo? I see he has another booklet of Morgan Reilly with a Toronto logo patch but that too is the jersey prime variation ... enough said what a joke.

Really sad to see people destroy cards, and the worst part is they can do this year after year and get away with it, does ebay even care if u report ?

Multiple cards that seller is selling have patches that were clearly taken off knockoff jerseys. The stitching on them is sloppy and horrible. It's possible that he acquired them as a lot from someone else, and is himself a victim of fraud. However, he should know better than to resell that crap.

people, here is a link everyone should watch. this is how you can tell if the patch is fake for any Panini products.

People like this really ruin the hobby...

Please report his items.

I feel sorry if there are any legitimate sellers in Pickering. Because time after time, I see fake patch threads, and most of the time they are from a seller in Pickering. Different userids many times, but always from Pickering. I will never buy a jersey card from anyone in Pickering, and this loser has ruined for anybody up there.

Should be booted of Ebay for that.

they absolutely should, but aside from specific scenarios like our OP where they have legit proof the patch window was altered its hard to prove anything, like I mentioned earlier if you look at his Morgan Reilly booklet that is a /49 jersey variation, how the heck can it have a freaking TOR logo!? but it would take someone from ebay who understands the hobby and checklist just to understand my concerns and that is assuming they care to take it down, because end of the day a sale with a faked patch = more $$$ than the regular card and just more money for ebay.

These people ruin the hobby, because now for me at least, when I get offered a nice patch, if that person didn't get it from a group break with video, its so tough to even consider it because you know what is out there.
