Immediately below is a link to a previous blog on Ebay seller 5cowboysb selling a forged/counterfeit Sandy Koufax "2000 SP Authentic Chirography" autograph card.
Ebay seller 5cowboysb sold two more forged/counterfeit cards; a Willie Mays "2003 Topps Legends" card and a Willie Mays "1996 Topps Certified" autograph card.
Here is the Willie Mays forged/counterfeit "1996 Topps Issued-Autograph" card sold by Ebay seller 5cowboysb for $182.50.
Howdy, I am that seller. I bought all these 4-5 years ago (including the Koufaxes) off eBay myself without knowing they were counterfeits—I didn't know there was a market for counterfeits of this type, or that the technology existed to create them ... such as recreating the holos on the back. I've since sent messages to the buyers alerting them of what I now know and have refunded them their money. The only downside is they are still floating around out there. Also, I bought the Koufaxes off a prominent eBay seller; readers should check their collections if they've purchased from said seller in the past: lyonhrt7777, aka "Kingdom of Cards."
