FAKES ON THE BAY (ebay that is)

I dont know if it's the bad economy, or if some people just like to rip people off during this time of year, but there has been an ENORMOUS amount of fake auto's and fake patches surfacing up on ebay. I mean more than HALF of the ROOKIE PREMIER PHOTO SHOOT (on card) AUTOS are TOTAL FAKES!!!! And if you see a totally nasty sick patch its most likely a fake patch!! Just an example of a DEAD GIVEAWAY the Carolina Panthers (panther head logo) is a SCREEN PRINTED LOGO!!!!! There should be NO STITCHING!!!! I have seen a few Jonathan Stewart Exquisite rookie patch logo's with the FAKE logo patch in there in HOPES of duping some un educated collector in dropping BIG $$$ on something that was just cut from a jersey they bought at the store!!! SAD SAD SAD SAD!! So in short people before you buy, ask yourself, DO RESEARCH!!!!!! DO RESEARCH, DO RESEARCH!!!!! It will pay off in the long run!!!
thanks for the read, and Happy Holidays!!

09 GRIDIRON GEAR

OK, so after my AMAZING LUCK with the Panini Prestige i tried my luck with Girdiron Gear. It has been my favorite product since 2006. I have had some pretty good luck with it. I busted a few loose packs from a box that had already been opened. I pulled a JUMBO PRIME JERSEY (1 color...boooo) of Jag's rookie Mike Thomas (12/50) ripped a few more and pulled a REDEMPTION for Next Generation Combos PRIME SIGNATURES of Detroit Lions ROOKIE TE Brandon Pettigrew (been redeemed). Pretty happy with the outcome. I decide i will buy a FULL box ($90), rip rip rip rip rip, etc and NOTHING!!! I get down to my last 3 packs (supposed to be 3 hits per box), and only 2 packs had "hits", Jason Cambell plates and patches (yellow, and white) ALL 1 COLOR!! BOOOOOOOOO!!! 71/100, and then i pull a Steve Largent single jersey 1 color #/250!! and NO AUTOGRAPH!!!! I have already sent in to Panini, so hopefully they will replace it with something good, cuz other than that the BOX SUCKED!! Thanks for the read, and i will keep you updated with what happens!!

09-10 PANINI PRESTIGE!!!!

Ok so i busted 10 loose packs the other day, and pulled some MONSTER HITS!!! I pulled a Tyler Hansbrough ON CARD AUTO, and then pulled a Tyreke Evans auto 14/50!! (on ebay)!! Not too bad for 10 packs at $4 a pack!! I went back because my LCS owner wanted to sell the Hansbrough to someone, he had a new box of the same stuff so i grabbed 7 more packs, man, oh man!!! Pulled some MAJOR MOJO!!!! First "hit" was a Paul Pierce Prestigious Pros base card 2/10, not too shabby! Then pulled an Al Jefferson game used jersey 56/100!! Ok little better.......then came the MOTHER LOAD!!! BLAKE GRIFFIN ON CARD AUTO NBA DRAFT 09!!!! WOW WHAT A BOX!!!! So i had to debate keep going and try for the other 2 hits or quit, so i grabbed 1 more pack and pulled the other auto Jrue Holiday NBA Draft NY 09 Manufactured patch AUTO 63/124!! I was SO STOKED..............and then tried my luck with 09 Gridiron Gear, which i will post tomorrow.
THANKS FOR THE READ!!
