FAKE ALERT! Bogus Black Box Saw-Cuts.

FAKE ALERT!  I knew this would happen eventually.  Dishonest sellers are creating and moving Black Box corrected commons with "saw-cuts".  Especially now that grading company SGC began 'authenticating' '89 Ripken "saw-cut" cards in 2024.

To date, I have only ever seen ONE Black Box card with a factory authentic saw-cut.  ONE.  I've handled hundreds and hundreds of other 'real' saw-cut / slits and can tell these new creations are indeed - FAKE.  Scammers are taking $1 common cards and adding a vertical cut and selling these for 10-200x more.  Not to mention the fakes that have already been 'authenticated' by SGC.  I have seen at least one of these already.  There will be more to come.  Buyer beware!
