Can you shine a light through a real T202 Triple Folder?
 
I don't believe it is something you can do with t206's and is a good way to tell if they are fake or not, but does that hold true for T202 Hassan Triple folders as well? Anyone got a T202 and flashlight handy? :)

I don't have one on hand but they are not too thin so my guess is you shouldn't be able to see through them. But that is only a guess.

I just checked with a pair I had laying around. Yes you can see a light through them.

No problem. Another thing to look for is a slight paper texture difference at the fold line. Everyone I have had regardless of whether is was poor or NM had this difference.

You can shine a light through T206s. They stock is thinnish and light in color.

You can't shine light through Topps cards on grey/dark stock.
