I thought Fro Joys were only legit if black and white. How is it that this blue inked one made it into a PSA 6 holder? And why is Huggins & Scott selling it? Am I missing something?

Your not missing anything. You are correct.

Here's another fake, and a real bad error on the PSA label.

Kyle,



The label mistake I get. What makes you so sure the card isn't good. (By the way, the seller is a board member here.)

Paul,



I think you're both missing something - PSA graded it therefore it must be AUTHENTIC. This must be a rarity. It must be a new variation of that card. If PSA says it's real, that's good enough for me!

Why not put together a list with photo's of fake graded cards including from a previous post the 52 Topps Mays and the 52 Topps J.Robinson. I think this would shed alot
of light on this issue and then maybe one of the more
experienced collectors would be willing to send to the
grading company's involved an email copy and hard copy. Maybe just maybe this would bring this issues to the forefront of the collecting public. It's seems to me from reading this board and others this issues in becoming
more of an issues. I would be willing to work with any board member on this. Kindly excuse the spacing

Hey Jim,

The seller is a good guy, we've emailed several times in the past.

Anyway, the W551s with blue text are believed to be reprints. There was a thread on here about a month back:

http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/thread/1228686946/last-1229288651/Show+off+your+W551%27s

I'm not positive, but I think the blue text makes it suspect. The card doesn't look right to me.

all the colored ones
all the blue print ones
many of the black printed ones...

Odd... I definitely agree the card appears bad. Is there any chance this was a breached holder with this card slipped back in? If the seller is a board member, did he/she buy the card in a slab, or actually submit it raw?

Blatant fake, not even close. I am Surprised Huggins and Scott missed it. I am not surprised that PSA slabbed it. At least you know it is legit and unaltered.

Much to Huggins and Scott's credit that lot has been pulled....Good folks always do the right thing....regards

I must agree Leon, Huggins and Scott are as honest as it gets.
