1966 Topps Clemente
 

Hello everyone! This is my first post here on this great site and it is a question about fakes. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to tell if a '66 Clemente is a fake? I just recently bought this card off of EBAY and it is ungraded. I usually only buy graded cards but I got it for $65 bucks and I thought it was a steal. In my opinion, I think it would grade a 7. Unfortunately, I cannot post a pic right now. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum....if you have the ebay item number for this card it would be worth adding it so others can view and provide their opinions

Here are some pics taken with a camera.

Nice card and it looks like you got a nice deal. Personally I do not believe that a 66 Clemente is going to be faked. There just is not enough $$$ involved to make it worth while. The 55 Clemente is the card that would be faked.

Do you have any other 1966 Topps baseball cards to compare it to? Even a common will help.

If so, compare them side by side under magnification. Look at the paper, the inking. Then compare the feel of the cards.

I don't think a 1966 Clemente would be faked, but you never know. A card like that wouldn't raise any suspicion. But I don't see anything that jumps out as being irregular with your card.
