Today’s Hobby Trends on Instagram: "🚨 THE COUNTERFEIT PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE 🚨 AliExpress continues to pump out “DIY” custom cards for pennies… And some are getting scary good. Anime-style Prizms. Custom Downtowns. Fake inserts. Unlicensed parallels. Even cards showing up in magnetic holders with what appears to be a Panini-style seal. Most are sold as customs. The problem starts when they enter the secondary market and someone decides not to disclose that fact.

Collectors need to be more careful than ever. 👀 Have you seen any of these in the wild yet? #sportscards #thehobby #tradingcards #panini #psa"

Just a reminder about the associate dangers of buying cheap tat from Amazon, Ebay or a myriad of online ‘stores’ where bugger all attention is paid to certification (beyond forging a kite mark) and who will take no responsibility for the goods that they have sold.
