Probstein123 Auction Altered Crosby RPA

[hckycdn93]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to alert everyone that the 2005-06 Hot Prospects Red Crosby RPA (19/50) has an altered patch. I have attached before and after photos for proof. I have reached out to Probstein123 on ebay but haven't yet received a reply. I hope this helps anyone one out who bid or planned to bid on this card.

If you’re going to fake a patch why not fix those horrible corners?

Didnt they use the powder blue Penguins jerseys for the HP cards?

I have seem multiple Crosbys from this set featuring patches from the then-current penguins jersey, what appears to be an early 90's retro jersey and the powder blue penguins jersey. I have no idea how the latter two would fit in Crosby's timeline with the Penguins at the time but it appears they took from three different jerseys. The card states it was worn in a photo shoot so anything is on the table I suppose.

We're going to get more and more fraud as new speculators enter the sports card market throughout this year.

And there's already way too much fraud as it is.
