Reader CT sent me this thread over on Collectors Universe that brings about a troubling situation with Topps Triple Threads. When you look at these cards, its pretty simple to see that something is up with Pujols' sticker. Im guessing that either the seller has removed the real stickers and just used the trick from before to fake the autos, or Topps is being had, and just didnt care to run QC on the stickers that Pujols "signed."
Regardless if these stickers are real or fake, the problem remains. Stickers do nothing but cause problems, and there are a ton of horrible people out there who will take advantage.
Here is a real one:
Here are the fakes:
I don't pay attention to Pujols autos in general, so take this with a grain of salt. I used to have a 2001 Finest Pujols auto, and NONE of the cards above sports a sig anything close to the one on the 2001 Finest. Sigs change over time, but not that much. I'm guessing your assumption #2 is a better bet for where the problem is.
ReplyDeleteWait, theyre different sellers? In that case its probably Topps f'ing up or Pujols having his cousin sign the stickers.

Regardless of what PSA says, they look a little off, dont you think?
ReplyDeletethat is what CU is basing there arguement on is hammers psa asubmission so I did it and got the exact opposite. The sticker is off that is about it
ReplyDeleteisn't the issue that the Pujols stickers on the "fakes" don't say "TOpps Certified Autograph Issue" on them?
ReplyDeleteI'd say the Pujols are fakes only that the sticker in the fake pics isn't like the others. I didn't even consider the auto because the sticker part wasn't right. The legit pujols picture posted has "Topps Certifed Autograph Issue" on the Pujols auto sticker.
