What was a Rose card worth back then? I can't see it being worth the effort but obviously I am wrong.
I agree with that, and if that is the only clue, that counterfeit is really good, especially if it's a 1982 copy?

At the Anaheim show in '75 (precursor to the National) there was a huge scandal with a group of '59 Fleer #68's that came in that were fake. They looked pretty good and got by many but Irv Lerner wasn't fooled and blew the whistle. The promoters told the seller he wasn't allowed to sell them and I think he ended up walking out. Ended up making front page in SCD. I remember at the time the old time dealers thought that the hobby had too much money in it when a card was faked, and lamented how bad things were getting.
