Todd (nolemmings)BMW has had some top end vintage Hockey for sale, and may have seen fakes. The Parkies I have or have seen were either certified as legit by a grading service (I have a '54 KSA Parkie common) or certainly have looked legit to me in terms of paper and printing-- in short, I have never seen a fake. As for Sawchuk, I would feel pretty comfortable. Anything after 1979 I would have no knowledge and very little interest, and you may be better served asking the question on the CU board. However, take a look at what items the other bidders have bought and/or are bidding on now. Although not foolproof, it is somewhat reassuring if a bidder with high feedback has bought a bunch of Sawchuk cards, cards from the same set and/or cards from the same grading company, particularly high dollar items.
Good Luck. Todd
