Card Identification Forum

Anybody have any info on "Rookie Phenoms"  . Have seen several online/ebay but no check list

associated with it......I assume it is un-licensed and not allowed here.. 

You are right that these are unlicensed.  I've seen versions from "Rookie Phenoms" across several different sports, always featuring one of the big name players. I received a couple copies of the Baker Mayfield version free when I purchased some other cards. Even though it had a copyright date of 2011, I knew it had to be more recent than that because, unlike LeBron James (who was being hyped while in high school) no one not local knew who Mayfield was in 2011. He didn't even graduate high school until 2013 and was a mid-level prospect (3 star) who had to walk on at Texas Tech. No one was making cards of him as a high school sophomore or junior.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but in the course of educating myself here about rookie status I came across this thread and I had to post something: I HATE "ROOKIE PHENOMS", with a passion. Every eBay search for Tom Brady is littered with these, especially when searching from lowest-to-highest price. They are total scam cards. Not just "unlicensed", but an outright scam, considering the false copyright dates. I feel bad for anyone who gets suckered by it for a few dollars, but some of these listings are priced in the hundreds, which ought to be a crime, if it already isn't literally a crime. I cannot believe eBay hasn't issued a blanket ban on them. Is there any way to petition eBay to prohibit them? They must receive loads of complaints about them all the time, but for some reason they still allow them. Anyone know why, anyone know if there's a history of eBay making a (bad) judgment call to approve them for sale as mere "novelties"?
