Just in case it wasn’t obvious, the card is hand cut. DON’T BID if you are seeking to purchase a legit error card. There are plenty of other legit (factory) error cards out there that can be purchased from trustworthy sellers.
*UPDATE 3/31: Added photos of the hand cut ditto card and the sheet it was cut from for archive.
The sheet that was purchased by dnkkk2007 on Feb 13th before it was cut. Credit to @tony for establishing this connection.
I can’t say 100% but based on his auction history it would certainly indicate there could be something fishy going on.
The main indicator that I see is that the corners are aligned and cut at the edge of the sheet. Basically indicating that the card was cut perfectly aligned with the edge of the sheet. Vs other colorbar cards where you can see some of the bar but will never reach the edge of the sheet. Chances of something happening like that listing is… pretty much 0.
Yeah, it just seems too convienient that he’s also sold a ton of square cut cards from Base Set and Fossil. You don’t just stumble across a ton of old error cards like that. Lemme call in the miscut master to give his two cents. @regigigagod
Bingo. I don’t want to give too much information to other forgers, but this type of miscut would never have made it through the cutters like this, period.
Completely agree with everything that has been said in this thread thus far. At first glance, yes it looks cool and may appear to be legit. But I would not buy it knowing that it’s not an actual factory error. All in addition to seeing his past listings, yeah. Just don’t think you’re getting a “true” error if you win this auction.
Yeah, the picture in that original listing even shows the ditto all the way on the right, and the colorbar lines up perfectly with the ditto in the new auction as well. Those rounded corners are for sure going to fool the buyer
Solely based on my interaction with him, He had a very a disrespectful demeanor for a seller - Then proceeded to keep convincing me it was real. I’ve reported it as
Copyright and trademark > Counterfeit item or authenticity disclaimer > Disclaimers about the authenticity or legality of an Item
Dead giveaways
A. Buyer/Seller feedback between him and original seller clearly showing he bought the sheet.
B. The same side Ditto is on.
C. For F*@#S sake a novice collector can tell that was hand cut by that poor workmanship.
Hi all! Heard some crazy news in the community and thought I would check it out. Whats is going here? That card is really cool and I checked out the listing and from my point of view it seems like you guys are giving a classic card collector a hard time and questioning the integrity of his collection for what reason exactly? Wouldn’t all fossil sheets printed have the same color bar scheme next to it? just saying… Also, I have seen some very aligned error-cuts myself, props to regigigagod for his impressive collection. Either way, fake or not, its still a fossil ditto card. It’s my favorite and it will be mine!
