Another fake card from the Fleer auctions!!

ducky_poo · Dec 19, 2008

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 · Dec 19, 2008

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

exzibit3 · Dec 19, 2008

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??

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!

Billyhoyle · Dec 20, 2008

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

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

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.
