| This is the second one I've seen recently where it looks like fakes slabs with legit serial numbers may have been used for collateral on a Pawn Shop "loan": https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/533500-is-this-a-legit-cgc-case-star-wars-1-35-cent-variant-and-ironman-sub-mariner-1/ |

| @GanaSoth I remember seeing the fake eggs years ago - once I saw that I figured just about anything was on the table to be faked! | ||

Acetate gate Reholder scam Employee theft and swapping now fake slabs? once again they out perform CBCS!!! CBCS only had the 1 scandal of lost books because of...issues |

| Considering they look fake zoomed out on my phone, not much risk here. Certainly no scandal. Unless cheap knock-offs constitute scandal? If so, watch out Ferrari, people might get duped!  |

| lately been buying already graded comics (bought 4 in last month) but all through mycomicshop. not consignment directly by them for this reason. you are more likely to buy a fake from an individual on eBay or a forum | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Davethebrave I agree, that's why I thought it was interesting that they were ending up in Pawn Shops. Where the knowledge of details would be low, and the pawn shop owner thinks he's making a $500 loan on a $5000 item. Not a scandal, just a small-time scam. |

| Finally ... finally... something they (CGC) are not at fault with. It's been a long time for that. But for anyone disappointed it's not their fault this time, hold tight... something will come in about 2 - 3 months that is. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Cli4dR3D0g That's a really good point. It would seem to be the easiest. And on the point, I wonder how "obvious" the fakes would be to the average potential consumer with an identical font. The case from a distance looks good. The hologram is there. oofa |

 I don't believe this....and I know you don't care that I don't believe this.

| The forged case and label is also narrower than the real thing is it not? The forged case and label appear to be just a tad wider than the book itself. | ||

Nuffsaid111 private msg quote post Address this user | |
| Yea... does seem that way. I'd love to be a fly on the wall to see where the two pieces of plastic were obtained. How they were obtained. How the label was made. Where was the hologram obtained from. Even where was the comic from. Is it complete or just a facsimile cover with phony guts? How was it put together. So many questions. |
