One of the hobby first 'counterfeit' problems involved Home Run Kisses, among other sets, and took place during the very early 1970's. Those examples were somewhat cruder than the recently offered cards. I've seen some that appear close to the Ebay examples offered (as real cards) in the last decade. One should assume these days that anything paper can be scanned and printed onto paper. If it can be done with $100 bills, it can be done with virtually anything. Know who you are dealing with and what you're buying in advance. Ebay & Craigslist are welcome platforms for fraud.
