@thehappycollector: Brett Lemieux’s confession has shook the sports memorabilia, hobby and market. Through Mister Mancave $350 million worth of counterfeit sports memorabilia hit the market. As a sports card and memorabilia collector and fan it definitely makes me question some of the things I have in my own collection. The hobby needs to do more to protect the people that support it. I feel like someone getting away with this for 20 years means that a lot more or we’re also getting away with it. And a lot of big names and big entities in the industry were turning a blind eye. For them all to not know seems implausible to me. They sacrificed authenticity for money in their pockets. The hobby will survive this, but will be shaken by it. I know I’m not buying a ton of memorabilia in the foreseeable future until things can be rectified, and some type of oversight can happen.#SportsCards #mistermancave #BrettLemieux #Fraud #Memorabilia #Sports #TheHobby #WhoDoYouCollect #CardCollector #TheHappyCollector #FYP #Trending #autograph #fake #CapCut
Breaks killed the hobby. You found a way for adults to gamble and cut kids out.

I stopped buying autos a long time ago… too many shady people and too easy to forge autos.

I made the decision years ago to buy auto.Pin jerseys off of ebay then to risk the money and the heartbreak on a possible fake...

Not to sound like a Crypto Shill, but some implementation of a decentralized blockchain with video evidence of the authenticity could be the way forward

how is it possible that many fake autos were pushed into the market and not a single one was caught by a certification company? it strikes at the linchpin that supports the economics of cards, the grading company's integrity

Regulation is not to far fetched now. Some type of oversight is needed. Not sure what or how or who but it’s to much money and integrity involved

I only have autos I obtained in person as a kid. Those have memories, stories, and/or fun times associated with them. Nothing can replace them and I won’t sell them.

Well said. What about the father who bought his son or daughter a piece that the kids hold onto. So so sad. Whenever there is big money, chances are it’s not good.

Full size helmet breaks are just BS, so many helmet breaks, like who signed all those?? why arent the Athletes saying anything? Did Jordan even sign those HANES cards we all bought shirts for or was that a CEO scam?
