Default Fakes

In the last few weeks I have received 6 emails asking me about the fake Cuban cards, they were all answered but one of them asked me to publish it for everyone's knowledge, that's a long story, but I'll explain something, the first fakes appeared at the end of the 80s, and they were the Billiken, followed by Nacionales, La Cotorra, Aguilitas, in the latter the photos that appeared in the 50s programs were glued to original cards of other subjects, in the year 2004, they called me to tell me about the Cerveza Polar cards, which I did not know, they spent a year preparing the counterfeit and in 2005 they appeared, when I saw them I realized they were fake, they used material they had saved from the 50s to deceive me, but they could not with me, days later they gave me the name of the counterfeiter, he lived in the province of Villa Clara, and others were made from that province, the Billiken and Nacionales were counterfeited in Havana , I show some examples of fakes.
