Wanted to take a minute and give you some quick collecting tips to help you be more informed when making purchases off e-bay....
Recently there have been a small group of sellers that have been going the extra mile to CREATE cards...
they will take a base or insert card...
and then they will cut a hole in the card which basically makes the card worthless ....
then they will get a piece of fabric...or sheetmetal...glue it onto the card and get a machine that can foil stamp and stamp 1/1 on the card....
the materials are not from the actual driver or drivers...they are not Press Pass certified and would be no different that you taking a pair of scissors to one of your cards and cutting a piece off of your shirt and sticking to a card.....
most of these sellers are circumventing e-bay rules by ADDING the word "CUSTOM" to their auction....which cover them for fraud....they are also making their auctions private so bidders cannot be warned that the card is a bootleg..
I have contacted Press Pass and basically once it leaves their boxes there is no longer anything they can do to the get the auctions removed...nor do anything legally to the people creating them...
if you ever have a question about the authenticity of a race used card ...ask the seller for a picture of the back of the card....all Press Pass certified race used cards have a COA on the back of them....
hope I have saved at least one person from getting a bad experience in the hobby...
and if you have any questions ...or need help verifying cards LMK
