TO make a long story short...you seem like a good guy...but many arent...and noone likes to be taken advantage of! |
Sure it's easier for todays newbies to www any info they want, but I'd trade that experience any day for the advantage of being able to buy cards in the 70s-80s market.
In Tan's defense (although he needs to learn how to respect his elders) I've never asked google if my cards are real.
Tan, I agree with Scott, study some real cards. You can just study the ones you have, they are real. Note the difference between the front and back surface. I haven't seen a fake that properly replicates the clay texture on the front. Look closely at the the white borders, look at where they meet the edge. Look at the bottom left corner of your McGraw. You will see where some of the clay surface has chipped away, hopefully that will help you identify what the surface is made of.
You really should have gotten a photo of the cow. T206 are a dime-a-dozen,,, never seen a house cow before.
