real or fake please help

[ccrab1984]

do any of you guys know how to tell if the topps rookie premiere autos are fake?

Send them to PSA and get them authenticated. Other than that, you just have to compare the best you can. The 2010 ones are better with the serial numbers and the sticker but prior years arent as easy

yeah i bought a few bigger quads from 2007 2008 names like ap cj matt ryan flacco and the cards just feel fake...the ones from 2007 have stickers but i couldnt find a way to check them on topps website...the seller doesnt take returns but i did use paypal so hopefully they can help if i want to return them

[ccrab1984]

thanks for help bronco i think i got duped big time

if you got an unbelieveable deal its prolly too good to be true on those, I see alot of those quads go really cheap, The way I was able to tell was to get an 08 topps base card and feel it and compare it to the premier auto you have, GL

Can you post a pic of the AP? I would be able to tell right away if the AP is good or not.

This is why I prefer sticker Autos! Have you tried to compare them to other similar autos and cards like those!!

Stickers are taken off of junk cards, wiped clean, and put on other cards all the time. I've seen it done in Certified and a bunch of times on Topps cards. I've even seen people wipe off no name autographs and forge superstar autos and leave them on the original scrub cards and call it an error. Point being if your a scamer you'll find a way to make a buck.

Im confused, are people printing off fake cards or is there a non auto'd insert set that people are forging?

Printing cards without the autos then forging them. It's getting pretty bad anymore

I agree, there are some bad sellers out there but I go by the book and I also compare the Autos for similar signatures. Usually if the numbers match with the description of the card, it's legit!! Ex: Gold Refr Auto /50:)!

You might be able to get your money back

[ccrab1984]

yeah we will see....the card stock is just obvious its so flimsy...plus after compairing the calvin johnson to a real calvin i had already it looks fake

I dont know why people even buy the rookie premieres from 2007 and 2008 anymore. THere are so few real ones that its not even worth anyone's time.

[ccrab1984]

yeah i know now i always liked the set and wanted to pick some up.....lesson learned
