Example Case Types and Current Investigations

Whatnot Randomized Breaks and Repacks

With its randomized card breaks (e.g., those with wheel spins) and repack breaks, Whatnot appears to be running an unlicensed casino. Without the safeguards required for online casinos, consumers can be taken advantage of in such breaks. And without gambling addiction resources, those with compulsive tendencies can be victimized. If you have had issues with Whatnot randomized and repack breaks, contact Lesko Law LLC for a free consultation.

Nonauthentic Game-Worn Uniforms

Collecting game-worn uniforms allows fans and collectors to have a tangible connection with their favorite athletes as well as with specific games and seasons in history. However, when allegedly game-worn uniforms are discovered to have not been worn in any games despite representations to the contrary, that is a crushing blow to collectors. If you purchased a game-worn uniform only to later find out it was not in fact "game worn," feel free to contact Lesko Law LLC for a free consultation.

Graded Cards That Were Later Revealed to be Altered or Not Authentic

Collectors find comfort in purchasing graded cards, knowing that the cards purchased are authentic and unaltered. However, if it is later determined that a card is not authentic or has been modified, the value of those cards diminish…often to zero. If you purchased a graded card only to later find out it was not authentic or had been modified (e.g., trimmed), feel free to contact Lesko Law LLC for a free consultation.

Intellectual Property Infringement on eBay, Etsy

Feel free to contact Lesko Law LLC for a free consultation.

Autopen Signatures Passed Off as Authentic Signatures

Have you purchased an autograph of a celebrity or athlete only to later learn it's an autopen? There may very well be an action against those that pass off autopens as authentic, hand-signed autographs. Feel free to contact Lesko Law LLC for a free consultation if this happened to you.
