My spidey senses say something is not right with these CJ's
My spidey senses say something is not right with these CJ's. What do you think?

The Item Specifics section claim they're graded by SGC and have pieces of authentic material (relics) in them. So those descriptors are definitely wrong, unless you count candy stains as authentic material.

Fake

not even close
absolutely fake. Or the worst picture in the history of ebay.
|
Saw them when they first went up. They are really poor fakes.
|
"As is" in this case means "As isn't".
|
Curious what tips you off to being fakes? What specifically do you look at first? I noticed that the jersey white doesn't match with the borders like authentic cards do. But what's interesting is, he's got some 15's mixed in there too. Wonder if they're all fake?

Do not panic. It's extremely easy to tell a real CJ from a fake once you know what to look for. This is from a Frank Ward post from ~10 years ago:
"Another characteristic of all real Cracker Jack cards is that there is no white ink on the cards. The white or light parts of the uniform is the natural paper color. Most fakes have a white ink for the white parts of uniform, that doesnt match the white border of the card. Real cards will have the uniform blend perfectly into the white border where they meet." Every fake fails this test, including the ones shown here. |
