Nolan Ryan "auto"

[timfsu2k]

Someone bid on this very obviously fake Nolan Ryan auto. I felt bad for them at first, but seriously people need to do their homework. There are 100s of Ryan autos on ebay right now, a quick look at any of them would tell even the most novice collector that this one is no good.

That's crazy. I think you're right; I WANT to feel bad for whoever bought it, but the signature is so bad that it's hard to muster sympathy.

Yeah, that is crazy.
At least I know a new way to get rid of my 89 Topps collection: I'll just add a fake autograph, a fake serial number, and put a starting bid at $20! I'll be able to pay off that case of 2006 Artifacts I bought a few years ago!

I long ago stopped feeling bad for people who bid before they think. Protecting people from their own greed and laziness seems to qualify more as enabling than looking out for them.

A quick Google search found me an easy link to an image of what that card is supposed to look like:

You don't even have to go farther than ebay to find an authentic version (which is at $60 with over a day left).

The thing about this forgery is that Ryan's "N" in Nolan is always the same and is very unique. It's like someone didn't even try! I reported it but I'm sure nothing will happen.

So lame. It's like this Bagwell card I posted a few days ago that ended up selling for $80!

I contacted the seller and told her it was a fake, I contacted eBay and told them it was a fake but they still let it go through. All anyone has to do is look at the card through the magnified version and see it doesn't say PRIME anywhere and the fact that it is a giant patch and numbered out of 150!! So lame.
