Fake W517's?

[Dalkiel]

A local guy has these. I assume they are fake, but I figured I'd ask first. Sorry the picture isn't any better.

yes fake

they say "W517" in bottom corner, than ACC# W517 name wasnt given to the set until well after they were made.

the "W517" is often scuffed off, so its always good to look in that spot for wear or for heavily trimmed examples. the back card stock will also give this type of reprint away.

Thanks! I figured they weren't real, but thought I'd ask.

I'm not sure that I would say "fake". They are very well done reprints - and clearly marked with the W517 name so hopefully they won't fool anybody. You can sometimes find a complete set for about $10.
