The Babe Ruth Candy cards are the second most faked cards in the pre-war market. I would guesstimate that 90% or more are fakes. Many (newer card) shop owners would also be duped on these. Experience in the age of the cardboard is the best bet. I have several real ones and have handled many fakes too. Also, there were 2-3 different kinds of cardboard used for these originally. This is not a set to buy if you are inexperienced, imo....
