The Official Fake Patch Thread

[andrewconnors9]

Haha I would imagine so!! UD pulls through every now and again ;)

[joemlm]

Just received this card DIRECTLY from UD, so the shoulder patch variations DO exist. It's a shame the scammers out there have made us all so skeptical...:

First, SICK Lindros

second, yeah hockey has the sweetest patches to be found on cards, but i have to caution, you got this MOJO direct, so it is real, also, first, you always check the stitching for cards on ebay or at card shows, just look at any chinese jersey closely and the stitching will NEVER match the real deal, just go to ebay, look for other cards with the same patch and COMPARE! you will find most will have off looking or outright poor looking patches when yo compare them to the real deal!

third, keep a list of ebay scammers, the proven fake patch fakers, and NEVER BUY ANYTHING THEY SELL, EVEN BASE CARDS. if we collectively boycott the scammers, some do in fact stop scamming with the patches, they will leave our hobby and find more fruitful waters elsewhere so to speak... try it!

fourth, again, WOW that is a sick card! congrats

Thanks and GREAT advice. We should all do our best to search out these crooks and get them out of the hobby.

also, from what I can tell, this should be an All Star swatch - not a Kings swatch. I reported this to ebay - sucks that Beckett authenticated the card tho. They should be notified too.

the serial numbers are different. check again. i am not familiar with this card but the cards are different.

Serial numbers are identical as well as the autos (which is the dead giveaway).

How would I go about reporting things like this to ebay? I have looked through the customer service section but cannot find an option that matches this request.

Look down below on the auction page itself.

It says "Report Item"

You will have to click thru a bunch of nonsense until you get to a box where they will allow you to type a few words of explanation.
