I was able to pick up my favorite Fake at a local show recently and wanted to share it.

This is the 1963 Topps Pete Rose rookie that was famously counterfeited back in the 80's. There were a ton of them showing up at shows and they fooled everyone. They look and feel totally real except for the fact that there is slight black outline around Pete's hat. This is the dead giveaway that it is one of these fakes.

They were confiscated and ordered to be marked on the backs with the words, "Original Reprint" and then returned to the owner.

I am so happy to finally have one of these in my collection.

Thanks,

AndyH
