Hi, Have any of you collectors seen a R316 Kashin Babe Ruth with the "Made In U.S.A" on front bottom right corner?? Card look very real and vintage, but is slightly different than others Ive seen, especially with the "MADE IN U.S.A". Any help appreciated. Thanks Frank

My copy (which I just picked up in a trade) doesn't have that. I don't seem to recall seeing one w/ "Made in the U.S.A" on the front.

Hey, at least it doesn't say Made in Mexico or Taiwan, or something like that... That'd be a definite "red flag"!

I have seen this before and even own a similar card -- Moe Berg -- with Made In The USA appearing in white in the lower left corner. I have had this card since around 1981 or 82. I hope this helps! Sorry, no scanner, or I would post a photo...

My Berg and Ruth do NOT have "Made in U.S.A." in the lower right hand corner, or anywhere else, nor does the Moe Berg which Lemke uses to illustrate the Kashin set in the Standard Catalogue of Baseball Cards, 2002 (is that what it's called?)

Still, that seems like a very strange way to counterfiet a card. My hunch is that it's a variation.

Nothing like bumping a 20 year old thread...but found this at the National. Special thanks to Dan McKee for letting me know about the variation.

Congrats Mac. That's a nice one.

The names in this 20+ yrs old thread are some memories...
