Remember what I said about the pattern of coding these muckers use?
Here is the newest addition to a growing list of fake patches (seen on the left):

Also note these
problems as well:
If asked, you'll hear from the seller that this particular card (seen on left)
is #'d out of 150.
None of those jersey swatches contained a cut patch.
They were all cut from an CWS Away Uniform, showing either one or two pinstripes.
Also note that it does not say 'Jersey Prime' - another clear indicator of
fraud. Not that that's a determining factor anymore since these arsewipes
will destroy a limited card to increase their fraud's "legitimacy"
- the AL eagle patch seen on the right was once a beautiful nameplate patch
#'d to 20.
Finally, I give some begrudging credit to these forgers - they're getting
better at inserting the fake piece. But notice: When they glue the patch to
a thin piece of cardboard (in order to facilitate it 'sliding into' the window
space) there is often a smooth edge that can be seen. You can see it better
on the fake eagle patch. On this newest fake you can see it's there - on the
bottom there's a curved edge. I suggest downloading the original from the
auction and checking it out yourself.
And finally: After word started to spread about this bogus card among collectors
- the seller immediately switched to "Private Bidder IDs". He doesn't
want you or I to warn our fellow fans!
Whatta worthless creep.
Remain vigilant fellow Big Hurt fans!
