So...because I'm not waving a pitchfork you think I assumed the seller is innocent? I honestly could care less if its fake or real, so assumed neither.
Just for argument sake, without prejudice.
You countered with the statement, "How do you know he didn't trade for it or buy it? Maybe he was selling something he thought was legit."
That is true because since we are not privy to the seller's thoughts and have not heard a first hand confession of knowingly selling a fraudulent card.
But the same can be used to counter your statement. How do you know that the seller didn't know? You don't either.
But because the seller has purchased a patch recently which bears a striking resemblance to the patch on the card, it does raise some suspicion.
With all things being equal, it doesn't look good for the seller.
I'm not saying that he's a regular patch faker, but just this card looks highly suspicious, and buyers should beware.
Maybe he's a huge SJ fan who lives in New Jersey and wanted to buy a Sharks patch just for fun. Maybe not.
IMO, this isn't a blind witch hunt. If it looks, smells, and sounds like a duck...
I don't think I posted anything that would it make it seem like I'm jumping to an illogical conclusion. Plus in the OP the poster states that in their opinion that patches like the one seen on the card wasn't on any Sharks GU jerseys. I am assuming by his handle that the OP is a Sharks fan/collector and has some level of expertise on SJ jerseys/patches.
As for not really caring about faked patches, that's too bad. I thought that collectors would care if there were faked patches out there. This is what I thought this forum and community was about. Looking out and helping each other out in the hobby.
I'll have no problem admitting that I jumped to conclusions, and even offer up an apology, if the seller provides a current picture of the patch he purchased.
