Default Is it too risky to buy an ungraded Ruth or other high value strip card from ebay?

I guess my question is, given the low quality of these cards when made, is it simply too easy for a counterfeiter to pass one off as real? In person, testing for fakes might be somewhat doable, but I would't know how to do it online.

Here are a couple of examples - can anyone tell with reasonable confidence whether they're real?

By including these examples, I don't mean to imply in any way that the sellers are doing anything wrong -- the cards may be 100% legitimate, but it may also be that the sellers don't have the expertise to know for sure whether the cads are real.

Thanks for any feedback!
