Awesome man. I thought I had a decent enough idea of how to spot a fake, but wow this opened my eyes to how little I knew. Terrific video.

Thats awesome im glad it added to your knowledge. We gotta put a stop to the scammers and best way is to get everyone educated.

@gametimegallery7661 3 жыл бұрын

Great detailed analysis -- best one on KZfaq. The fakes are rampant on eBay for the Jordans and other big cards right now. Either buy cards in person with the help a jeweler's loupe, or request high resolution scans from the seller if buying online. If the seller is truly on the up and up, he/she should have no problem sending you high res photos. Great video, man.

@@321lkjackson my favorite is “ive had it in my safe for 30 years” ok well you have had a reprint for 30 years . Yeah hard to say I mean I imagine there could be a small percentage of guys out there that haven’t touched a card since they was a kid that had one in there childhood collection and heard the news about it and found it and listed it but thats rare. Better to always assume the worst on these raw cards.

I’ve bought over a 1000 of these reprint Jordan cards at several different times and most are printed differently, which it cool with me because, I’m a big MJ collector and not just basketball cards, so to me it doesn’t matter if it’s fake or reprint but I do, do my due diligence. This image could be on a sheet of toilet paper. I WANT IT! MJALLDAY!

Very awesome and informative video you made. I went to school in graphic art so I understand all the rgb and cmyk printing plates. I used to build car ads from scratch using the previously years ad as a template so I’d scan the old ad, lighten it to 30% and build it over the top to place type and frames just right. I’m thinking that’s how they modern fakes are being made. Then they are rebuilding the logos and such the same way. The C (fake looks like a C in the Chicago bear logo almost) on the back in the Michael Jordan name is a different C that’s in the original font. The rest of the font is pretty accurate tho. I’ve noticed that card being out there quite a bit and when I call out the seller, they insist the card is real. It’s not. Sadly, some day will correct it all except they will always be scanning the actual photo of Mike which might be the only giveaway.

@TryingToGetToSubswithout-mn5xk 3 жыл бұрын

Sure enough, I went back and looked at the last card you were looking at that sold for $8k. Look at the C in Michael on the back and compare it to your real one.

@@TryingToGetToSubswithout-mn5xk yeah its very interesting what you pointed out based on your own expertise. I believe that the reason the latest run of fakes are so exact is that they are scanning images of different mint cards and putting them together on an editing computer program thats why you getting parts of the card that dont match other parts based on the flaws.

The one thing i realize that it's' a fake card was the backside. Its shiny and looking like a mirror. I definately feel vintage cards are not like that. I doubt a Honus Wagner RC would look shiny even if it was in mint condition. When I notice the shine, that was a giveaway.

Never buy popular old cards. The seller has to take the card back, it’s illegal in the United States to sell fake cards, if they didn’t know it’s fake then they will have to refund it. You can have the seller arrested for fraud.

@raymondheflin-jr1ls 11 ай бұрын

Who told you that it's a civil matter it's not counterfeit money lol if the seller doesn't give you a refund you will have to take them to court to get it back. Trust me I know first hand because as long as the seller says he didn't know you can't prove he does and the cops will not waste there time lol
