The Hobby Boards

My guess is all of these autos are fake..

Nice catch on the new accounts.
In addition to the bowman's bests, both accounts have well known counterfeits among the items listed.

Kobe ovation, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax,....

Some reference info on the other items available/sold.

This is a counterfeit 98-99 Thunder Rave. These are not backdoored, they are counterfeit. You can catch me @23.dead on Instagram

*UPDATE*
I would like to mention this seller did remove the listing and was able to get a full refund from the original seller while at the Burbank show!
Props to SeedeesGems for doing the right thing!

Not basketball specific but the accounts dumping the fake bowman's best autos (among all the other fake stuff being sold) appear to have got some of their baseball stuff passed by all the major grading companies.

Thanks for the update man. Does look to be the same seller.. I'll flag a few of those as well but didn't do much good last time with the bball cards we found. eBay seems to shy away from doing anything about backdoored cards which is too bad.

Yeah, it's disappointing eBay and now apparently all of the grading companies allow these accounts to continue selling these fakes.

I've had some success getting individual items canceled but the cards just end up on one of the other accounts.

As SGC doesn't authentic autographs, so they seem to target for basketball but PSA, BGS and CGC have also authenticated the fake baseball cards, suspected to have came from the same auction of uncut sheets.

There also an ebay seller PCB Comics and Sports that is selling a lot of unnumbered 90s stuff but doesn't show pics of the back. Topps Gold Label reds and Bowmans Best atomic refractors.

Counterfeit 98 Skybox Thunder Rave Scottie Pippen

Credit: 23.dead on IG

This 99 Thunder Rave Jordan 002/150 BGS9 offered on eBay auction is a counterfeit, beware!

Very interesting things going on with that account. I see cards that were purchased on cardhobby (China auction house) appear on that account shortly thereafter. Sometimes the cards are relisted numerous times as well. Fake cards, shilling, and probably creating fake comps.

I'm a big fan of COMC, but here's one that's bugged me. I posted an IG story many months back and COMC responded/fixed the listing. It was moved from Century Marks into base, but now it has been put back to Century Marks with a small note. The numbering is a better attempt than most, but still not great. Closer than the copies that pop up on eBay... https://www.ebay.com/itm/226018105318 https://www.ebay.com/itm/225974997043

Oof.. Yeah definitely looks like one of the fakes. Thanks for the heads up.

Doesn't exactly fit the thread description, but thought this would be a good thread to share the warning.

Lots of counterfeit (fake autos, authentication, serial numbers, stickers,.....) hitting the market.

Several images can be found here, but here's a recent example that passed eBay/CGC authentication.

Seller has several other fakes currently listed and sold

Also, keep an eye out for fake 2004 Ulitmate Collection buybacks, specifically Michael Jordan.

Here's one that was recently sold on eBay.


A few other recent sales of fakes.

Thanks for the heads up Auburn. I just updated the thread title so we can have a single spot for 90’s and 2000’s stuff.
