New FF Pickup! Thanks Jerry!

 Big thanks to Jerry in CA!  I was able to pickup a few oddballs to add to the collection.  Included was this double saw-cut FF!  Beauty!  

Article from 1989 on eBay

 I saw this article from January 20th, 1989 (and card) listed on eBay over the weekend.  Unfortunately the picture only shows about 80% of the Boston Herald clipping.  Still fun to see.

 

New Pickup for July 2021 - Black Box w/ a print dot on the letter P

 Thanks to Jerry for sending this my way.  A square edge Black Box version with a print dot on the letter P in Ripken.  Something new and different!

New Pickup June 2021 #2 - Black Scribble w/ Unique Saw-Cut

 New Pickup this month.  Black Scribble w/F with Saw-Cut.  This one has a unique, 3 cut.  To top it off with a print dot on the letter N.  

New Pickup June 2021 - Rack Pack

 Always like picking up rack packs with factory saw-cut cards on top.  This is a nice FF version on the middle pack with the slit going through the jersey #7.  Chuck Crim is underneath.  

Fakes everywhere - Beware!

 I report all of these to (popular online resale e-place) but nothing ever gets done.  

The "Whiteouts" are too easy to make.  The same few sellers are creating these and unloading them all the time.  Turning a 50 cent card into $50-$100.  Check their feedback!  Selling dozens and dozens of these is a RED FLAG!

The "White Scribble" reprints starting appearing a few years ago.  No notations on them noting "Reprint" or "Fake".  Sure enough - now they keep popping up for sale as Original.  The fakes/reprints lately have been obvious to spot.  The yellowish knob is the real giveaway.  

Buyer beware!
