Are these fakes?

[Buythatcard]

Someone has asked me to sell these 2 cards for them. There is something about them that just doesn't seem right. Just by looking at them makes me think that they are fakes. But, I want to hear it from the experts here at Net54 and see what you think. Please tell me why they may or may not be fakes.

All responses are appreciated.

I believe the Williams is a reprint. Looking at the front texture and the back colors, this card must be a reprint.

Whitey Ford is real Ted Williams is not real

Whitey is as real as rain, Ted is as fake as a $3 bill

Agree with the others.

Those perfectly rounded corners are a dead give away. It's just not normal wear on a card. The staining on the back looks funny too.

the Williams is missing the red ink on back, its rare variation card

just kidding.
I agree the Ford looks exactly like an authentic card in every way, nice dark black on front, not washed out like the Williams.... the Williams is a bad fake.

Thanks for your help. I will suggest to the owner of the Williams card that he let me put it though my shredder so that it never gets in the hands of any unsuspecting buyer. I am pretty sure that he will want the card back.
