CSC Collectibles, ACE & Rare and Signed Make it to EBAY's Banned List

3/15/2012 Chose to update the thread with the other two discussed in comments below that were also new additions to the EBAY banned list.   More nominations in the works.

I also confirmed with EBAY spokesman some time ago that the ACE which appears on the official banned list as ACE Authentic is actually ACE (Autograph Certification Experts run by Justin priddy) while Rare and Signed is a UK provider.   The official  EBAY banned list has not been updated to correct the ACE listing thus any presentation that doesn't show ACE Authentic has been modified by the poster.  There is more information contained in the comments below regarding the newest additions to the "prestigious" banned list.  Unfortunately, whatever percentage of items that are indeed authentic have been significantly tainted.  (there is a presumption that there are authentic items).

There is also a Moderated Blog for CSC & ACE but mostly focused on CSC that was created after this thread.  A moderated blog means that any comments "added" would have to be approved by the owner of that thread before they become visible.  Unfortunately, there is no way of telling what type of threads they are before posting.  This thread is not moderated nor do I see a reason to have a need to moderate as comments that go to far astray can be removed.   There are however a copy of additional CSC illustrations depicted from ebay.  (end 3-15)

 

CSC Info borrowed  from the Zipper as I wondered how we missed CSC Collectibles having it's very own thread...

 

Zipper recommends you avoid items with the CSC Collectibles Certificate of Authenticity / hologram. These worthless COAs appear on the same junky fakes we've seen with the equally worthless Nicholas Burczyk COAsZipper suspects it won't be long before this rubbish COA is banned from eBay as well. Sadly, the criminals who produce these fakes will just produce another phony-baloney authentication COA to slap on the bilge they pump out. It's like COA "whack-a-mole."

One thing to note about these mass-produced fakes is some of them are on 5x7 photos. Now, if you paid big bucks for a private signing with Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio or Ted Williams, would you waste it by having them sign offsize and unpopular 5x7 photos? Of course not. The forgers are so cheap, they probably use 5x7s to reduce costs.

 

and Cyrkin had noted in another thread on PAAS that CSC's were being removed from EBAY even if they had yet to make the banned list.  The following commentary seems to support this;

 

rt6junkie said, "i purchased a Mickey Mantle/ Ted Williams signed photo at a bid aution for $75.00..I advertised it on ebay and immediately it was pulled and i was put on notice NEVER to try to sell this again or I would be booted off ebay..I honestly did not know it was fake. Once again ebay acted Too Strong"

How many of these do you have of thse Board Certified Court Qualified Forensice Document types?

It's unfortunate we don't have a line on a class action attorney.

they were advised numerous times of this including the CIT and they have allowed this item to be sold even with a banned coa.  it would appear we are going to be in for al ong ride with whoever is reviewing these items these days.  As I've indicated before the counterfeit investigative review team seems to have fallen down on the job.

 

At one point I checked the auction and received a message that the item was no longer available. I thought it had been removed, and was surprised to find that it had actually sold. 

everytime I checked it was there from 4 days till a 12 hours left to go until you just posted your update.  There is a remote possibility it was removed and then relisted but somehow I doubt it...  made worse by it's a private sale.

 

I just checked it again, and received the same message that the "listing has been removed, or this item is not available." Perhaps eBay stopped the sale after all.  

sale has been cancelled; This listing (150927957500) has been removed, or this item is not available...    SOmetimes it pays to let some have it with both barrels as it's never over till the fat lady sings!
