Beware new fake auto guys on ebay

[Chrisp253]

Finding an absurd amount of fake "ip" and mail in autos online lately that people are actually buying. Anyone else notice this?

Two guys i suspect ebay user ids:

4242kenneth and milehighseller31

Check their autos for sale..

Kenneths shermans are definately fake when i was looking through his the other day.. He does a good job but its pretty obvious.. He also has an infinite supply and sells them at such low prices people dont seem to care.

Milehighs russ wilson strata is what caught my eye.. Wilsons auto isnt too hard to fake but it looks off.. Then some of these other guys while decent dont look right.. And it just so happens he conveniently has a bunch of hawks and broncos lol....

^ Yeah i saw some 'legion of boom' footballs that ended yesterday with sherm, et, bam, and thurmond... lol ET's sig wasnt too bad but they were pretty suspect.

Yea its ridiculous that people are paying for this stuff. Ya gotta question something right away when an auto normally goes for 150-200 on sherms contenders base the past week or two and someone is selling them at 27.99 each or the many different peyton manning autos he has for the same.. - someone selling a manning auto they know is real for 27.99 is some kind of special.. So clearly he knows theyre not.

Wow, 4242kenneth has sold a ton of autos on base cards. Of course he says they are all through the mail, but I honestly think they all look fake. Am I off base here?

[gobullz1]

shame on anyone buying any auto not certified in some way, there are some really great forgers out there

but technically.. he signs the card.. sends it ttm.. ttm auto

I wonder how many cards he practiced on, his Marshawn Lynch he sold a few sales back wasn't even close either. Pretty sad people give this guy their money.

[krav4747]

Also haven't found a Peyton Manning auto where he actually dotted his "i"

[Chrisp253]

Yup no doubt he does his fakes pretty well. And it surprised me as well that he has so many damn feedback and 100 percent. Almost want to buy a fake one just so i can neg him and get the process started.

It has to be the reason he hasnt gotten caught is that the majority of us collectors see these and go oh its a fake and dont go any further with it where as casual fans that arent really card collectors that dont know any better are prolly his main customer base.

Look at ebay seller peacock7834. He has TONS of fakes. I can't believe eBay hasn't done anything to this guy.

It looks like that kenneth seller just started after a 7 year hiatus for selling who knows what. I can't believe people buy them either and seem to think nothing of it.

Lmao this has to be the worst fake ive ever seen.. Courtesy of icon7894 on ebay. Looks like he had michael j fox sign it for him.

I cant decide whether this guy is trolling all the fakes or literally thinks he is gona trick someone? His other couple cards hes selling are decent cards.

[Chrisp253]

Well hes not tryin to be funny. I msg'd him and told him i didnt believe that was a legit sherman auto..

"Actually it is you dumb f***"

Lmao he missed a lot of shermans characteristics in the auto.. Stopped and started the auto about 20 times as well...

Wow some people...you ought to report him to ebay for that response.

everybody just look for the 'report item/buyer' link o the guys pages and select 'counterfeit items'. thats all you have to do.

4242kenneth has some stuff that looks legit but that watery blue marker thats on 1/4 of the autos is highly suspect. many athletes sign with solid sharpies and actually carry them around with them. the odds of 10 guys using the same $1 store crappy blue marker isnt very high.

milehighseller uses different/better markers but if you look at the Griffin and Rice you see imperfections on the left side of the sig. like he's opposite handed of the signer or missed the beginning or stuttered. they are close so they are real or he has a good system (shadows from sig projected onto card would explain the left side being bad because the auto projection may be blocked on the left side by his hand, or tracing?) to get them close.
