Are these fakes?
 

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.

Williams
 

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.

Whitey Real; Ted Fake
 

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.

Be careful Dan... This is Borderline 3rd Party Grading :D

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.

Good point Denny! I should open my own company!
