I had originally posted a reply under a parallel thread in the BST section, but I suspect that a faker wouldn't deface it with such paper loss on the back.

Having said that, I actually don't know of any tricks or tells to spot fake 1940 Play Balls, so if anyone has any tips I would appreciate it too. Appreciate the comment about the reprints/fakes being printed on different material and appearing with gloss, but those features wouldn't necessarily be detectable when not holding the card in person (ie, looking at scans and buying online).

Thanks
