1959 Fleer #68 - How to tell if it's counterfeit?
I just recently bought this "Ted Signs" card (big expenditure) and I am wondering about its authenticity. Although it looks absolutely legitimate to me, information on-line indicates that if the front shows a dot matrix sorta thing, it was a 1970's reprint. Is that true? In quickly using a magnifying lens, it seems that could be the case here. I definitely need to examine it more closely. Does anyone have a comparison close-up picture showing what a legitimate one looks like next to a fake one? I don't want to be screwed here if it is a mislabeled reprint, and the clock is running since the return period will expire pretty soon.
SGC obviously had no problem with it, but does anyone have any other insight?? I would appreciate any help. The back of the card has the proper gray (not white) cardboard... 1959fleer68tedsigns.jpg

In looking at ebay, it seems they all have what appears to be a dot matrix structure to the printing. These all look very, very similar to mine...

Cardboard connection has this to say--
"Unfortunately, reprints of the elusive #68 card made their way into the hobby during the 1970s, but a skilled eye should*be able to detect them due to the moire pattern on the suit coat and pinkish tint." Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327A using Tapatalk

I'm wondering if the references I keep seeing to 'dot matrix' are actually referring to a moire pattern, which is a far easier thing to instantly detect. Mine is without any moire and no pinkish hue appears on either suit coat, so I'm starting to feel a bit less edgy.
