Never seen one of these before, is it legit?

Another fake card from the Fleer auctions!!

 

[ducky_poo]

is it a legit auto though

as i know that some autos didnt get stamped, were kept in fleers hands, and only released after fleers demise

 

[ozballer23]

whats with the "1/1 buyback" though? how is it a 1/1 buyback?

 

[exzibit3]

The signature looks authentic to me, really consistent with other autos from Hill I've seen and it does look like the Century version. But certainly never heard of a Grant Hill buyback auto before, and I don't think this is one althought it may be a production error or sorts?

Evidence? Or just opinion?

where is graham when you need him??

 

[exzibit3]

Scan of my card next to the one from the auction. It just looks very consistent, signature wise and IMO is legit. As mentioned by ducky, perhaps this was just a version that wasn't numbered from the auctions, but its still very rare and very much legit.

I just like the fact that the seller hasn't cooked his supper!

lmao thought i was the only one who noticed

this has happened before and it was believed that they may have simply rubbed the numbering off to make it more rare or 1/1

I know fleer did have some signed ones in stock that were sold at the auctions. How would you rub it off? Either way, I understand now why it aint a 1/1!

rubbbing alcohol, metho, whiteboard marker heaps of options to get it off.

it was also being done to sell autos as blank 1/1s

here's a thread from HK where it has happened:
HobbyKings.com :: View topic - Me and Valentin have a problem!!!!

thats a KG auto #21/25 that had been faked not sure if the pics are still there but you'll get the gist

Sure the autograph look's 100% real. But it is wide known that without numbering the cards a fake as seen by the dual logoman someone had here.

Skybox did release Hill Buybacks but none are numbered 1/1. Lowest numbering was 4.
