This Is One Of The Best Fakes Evar

I was doing my normal look around the boards today, and I came across this card on FCB. This fake almost took my breath away, as it is almost as good as the triple logo Manning auto that was deemed best ever by me a few months ago.

Even though the card is a 1/1, I am still pretty positive that the laundry tag isnt real. Regardless, the tag is not why this card is awesome. First off, the top auto is on a clear sticker, which was not used by DLP at the time of this set. Of course, it looks like a fake auto to begin with, so right there, the card has already become awesome.
Then, when you look a little farther down the card, you see something that not many fakers are stupid enough to try. Yes, believe it or not, the guy has signed the laundry tag too. This is now a dual autograph 1/1 laundry tag, and it is glorious.
The best part is that he even included a scan of the back of the card, where it has no mention of the autograph(s) on the front, thus making me wonder how stupid you would have to be to buy this. I guess there are a lot of people out there who are.

Why Are People This Stupid?

Kickstand forwarded me this auction of a fake SPA Peterson Viking head logo, and I am shocked for a few reasons. Obviously, there is not even a question that this card isnt real, and Kickstand even included the pic of the real card to prove it. Ill get to that in a second.

First, its almost like no one understands that the stiching on any Vikings NFL authentic jersey is not flat like it is in this patch. The Vikings heads have much different stitching, which most of the time can be determined simply by going on the NFL website. If you are going to spend 500 plus dollars on this card, why wouldnt you just go take a look? Its fucking ridiculous to me.
Second, and even more shocking, this fucking douchebag destroyed a three color patch card to create this abomination. If you look at the before pics, you can see why the actual real card will be worth MORE than the money he gets for the fake. For this I fucking laugh, because you know he is too dumb to buy a regular one color patch for his crime, and instead uses the most expensive one available. I dont think I have ever seen a douchebag fail so hard.
Lets all laugh with me as we report this assfuck.

Peterson Viking Head Number Four Now Up


I sincerely hope that people arent THIS stupid to bid on a card like the Viking Head Logo that was just posted on eBay. This is actually number four that has been listed, the third of the fakes. It could also be the worst ever posted, as you can see the colors, stitching, and material dont match any authentic jersey ever worn.

Of course, this one is so fucking bad, that Im not actually going to feel bad for the person who buys it. Now, the card still is a Peterson exquisite, so its worth something, but it shouldnt go for anywhere near the 21oo the last horrid fake went for. Considering that the people who buy on eBay are some of the dumbest people in the history of the world, I will not be surprised if this one ends in similar fashion.
Be sure to check out the other posts I have done on the Peterson fakes, including the Tuff Stuff article as well. Upper Deck better get on this shit before someone else burns a whole car worth of cash for clunkers money on a fake.
EDIT: Here is the counter auction, exposing him. H/t Kickstand.
EDIT 2: AUCTION HAS BEEN REMOVED

Sometimes Its Just A Little TOO Obvious

We all know that the fakes have spread to as far back as 2001 and as far forward to 2008. Im sure its only a matter of time before the 2009 fakes hit ebay, which is really too bad.

Here is a seller that doesnt really get how to sell these, especially when half of the entire Jonathan Stewart print run is in his store.
Im just curious when Topps will step in, if ever. This has become a very unfortunate situation.
