Scoreboard Wilt Chamberlain Auto--Fake?

Beavers98 · 01-02-2022, 08:59 PM

So I fully admit I'm not the best at distinguishing fakes, but assume this one is.

I messaged the seller asking if he would provide any guarantee on the auto if I sent it to be authenticated and it came back fake, noting that the scoreboard stamp has been stolen/backdoored or whatever and that the coa was just a photocopy. I'm paraphrasing but I'm now basically a conspiracy theorist and there are no fake scoreboards autos and in no way is this common knowledge true. That's all the red flags I need not to engage further, but I just wanted to see if anyone thought this indeed might be real??..

Not only is Score Board authenticity super dubious, but the card itself is an eyesore - the silver ink looks terrible. I would avoid it.

the COA is by Ken Goldin but Ken Goldin has said on some pods that counterfeiters faked his name on fake COAs as well. Not sure if all are fake but this means high chance it is or he could confirm.

Thanks for the responses so far. He even changed from 14 day returns to no returns after our conversation. haha. More red flags that It's fake.
