Default 2021 Archives 1989 Mini Mookie Betts Auto

I just bought this for a cheap BIN on eBay and it obviously seems too good to be true. This card is not on the checklist, but looks pretty real. The seller shipped it out. Is this real?

There was a red ink version /10 on eBay that got taken down for being fake.

To my understanding, Mookie doesn’t sign for Topps, and has no interest in doing so. Something could have changed though. I feel like if they finally got Mookie to sign after all these years, they would have him in a better product than that. It’s a sus looking auto too.

My exact thoughts, the Topps seal is the thing that got me. At least I can get a refund from eBay.

That seller is selling a lot of fake junk. That Ripken auto he sold looks real, but it was sold on eBay earlier this year without an auto. Probably peeled a sticker off something else.

The Iverson Hoops auto is fake. The Scoreboard is too I think.

The A-Rod card is one that he probably planned to forge an auto on but for some reason didn’t.

A Topps screw-up by issuing not-autographed cards with their fateful text line printed on them anyway:

All 50 cards on this checklist same in this regard.

Did they ask for the card back? It should be destroyed.

Seal can be peeled off with a little patience. Glad you got a refund.
