i would think theyd be easy to make if you know photoshop and other programs. i do not lol, but i have seen customs MOC on ebay that came with their own proof card and the card looked identical to hasbro's. I have seen other auctions in the past for custom made proof cards (hardys, diesel, hart foundation, and I believe randy orton was the last lot I saw) and they looked just like the ones that were won here.
i am by no means saying the ones you won are fakes and congrats on winning them, but with todays technology frauds are easy to come by.

It is incredibly easy to make realistic fake cards. Me and my friends used to make up fake Pokemon cards to battle each other with when we were little. It would be so much easier now with photoshop, the internet and some good cardstock.

Can you tell me why in the hell you would spend that much money on something has not been authenticated and is so ing easy to fake, anyone can make these and then pass them off as proof cards...plus they do not have the squaring rule lines tat all proof cards have, some people... Hey ho I'm happy Which is all that matters. I hope the cards are 100% legit and that you are happy with them. I mean if people can find Monet paintings at the flea market then I don't think it is that far of a stretch that those cards are the genuine article. However for things like that I would hope the person selling them has great feedback for at least 100 transactions. |

The proof cards are legit, ive seen a few sets and they do not have rule lines and colour scales as they are printed on a mass sheet and cut down.
Also I love the custom cards above but put them next to the proof cards, id say the proofs are better quality and exact to the original, so Are IMO originals, or Myself and hasbromaniac would not have bid!
If someone can make an andre proof card the same, ill eat my hat, anxietydestroys? A.O.K?

plus you have to take into account a sellers history and the tory behind the cards. I know behind the scenes there are some serious collectors who would pay good money for these.

ICHI- I was LUCKY enough to befriend a couple great WF members in the mid 2000's when I was at the height of my customs career. All of those cards do not have backs on them. They were sold for display only. Baity sent me the back to the HBK card and my boy Pez messed around with it to try and make backings for my cards, but couldn't get it to his satisfaction I had AT LEAST 20-25 of the MOST PROFESSIONAL looking Hasbro card print outs (non- Hasbro toyline wrestlers). All with custom made action cartoons mimicking the exact look of the custom figure. I however did NO photo shopping. All I did was give my input and the recipe for the figure. To make an exact replica of the Hasbro card would be SOOO much work... time, effort, trial and error, ink, gloss, non gloss....etc etc So hats off to the winner especially if they are happy  |

I think this thread sucks! Is it just me?
Patriot1966 has purchased these for a significant sum of money, is clearly very happy about it, yet there are some people who can only degrade this and plant a seed in his head that they may not be legit. Not really what anyone wants to hear to be honest. It's like primary school bullying. Get a grip.

Mate it's fine if Hasbromanic and Ichiban feel it was worth a bid that's all I need to tell me there legit plus I have the back story for them from the seller. Just can't wait to get them now! 😃 |

The sellers Uncle used to be the head pressman at the printing plant where the cards where printed for Hasbro. He kept all the proof sheets for any of the jobs his team ran and brought them home. Apparently there's more as well 😉 |
