Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>I agree, how can you tell Leon? I took a double take but I didn't see enough evidence to report this one so I left it up. Dan.<br><br><img src="" alt="&lt;span">www.danmckee.com/pictures/types001.jpg&gt;

Posted By: <b>Greg Ecklund</b><p>The color is what gives it away...the more brownish/sepia tone National Game cards are the fakes - there are usually a couple up on EBay being sold as real

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Greg is correct. Look at the coloring. It's aweful!!! I am only 99.9% sure it's fake so please have at it guys. It will make a good learning lesson for someone *(unfortunately)...I am not positive......Personally I would steer clear though....
