Help Needed - Goudeys & Play Balls
These cards were recently acquired in a lot of 1950s & 60s cards I purchased. Just curious to see what people's opinions are on these cards - real or fake? I'm not too familiar with these sets. Thanks!

Not in any way an expert of any kind, so take this with a grain of salt.
But, the cards seem quite glossy (and reflect a lot of light), I don't own any Play Ball or Goudey cards, so I wouldn't know if that was the card with those cards. ~Owen

I like to try and do these without looking at what other's have posted. I'm no expert on either set.
I do own one Goudey however Evar Swanson. The stock paper on those cards don't look period at all they look like they have a glossy finish to them which should not be the case for that period. I hope you can get your money back or I hope you didn't spend too much because to me they look like reprints.

Of all, the DiMaggio looks most suspect for reasons mentioned by others. The 1940/41 non-stars might be OK, just very worn. Would love close scans of the 1933s, but they could be hand-cut from a reprint page or something similar; one of the bottom edges is angled without the corner being worn to match.

Thanks for the responses. I'm thinking they're all fake at this point based on everyone's input. It's not a huge deal because they came in a lot of cards I know are authentic. These were the ones I wasn't sure about. The Goudeys don't look good at all. I thought maybe the Play Balls were legit but now I'm not so sure. It definitely looks like someone scratched out "reprint" on the DiMaggio.

Here's scans of the fronts and backs of the cards. I figured this would be clearer than taking pictures with my phone. Hopefully this helps clear things up. Let me know what you guys think after taking a look at the scans. Thanks again!

All show signs of intentional damage and/or eraser marks where the word "reprint" would have appeared. 99.9% sure they are all reprints.
