Default Do these look a bit off?....Willards Ruth, Cobb etc...

Registration doesn't look too good or maybe it's my eyesight .

I work in Palm Desert which is very close to Cathedral City where this card is. Definitely some questionable things occur there in Cat City so would not be suprized if this were a fake. Also, The borders are not correct for a W572 Ruth as they are too wide. You can bet that if I were to bid on this one, I would want to see it first as there are too many questions from the scans.

all auctions no longer listed. Guess that proves they were fakes.

Are the borders for the W572 really too wide? Here's an example of an uncut strip for a W572, which seems to show those borders would be possible.

If the borders aren't definitive for determining those cards are fake, is there anything else besides the fading of the cards? If it's the fade issue, could sun damage have caused it? (No, I did not purchase these cards from this seller off ebay. )
