[QUOTE=the 'stache;1648558]The best way to learn to spot fakes, in my opinion, is just going to be handling the cards themselves. For rarer issues, obviously, this will be more difficult (i.e. Texas Tommy cards).
Great, great advise. The more you can examine the genuine item the more likely you are to spot the fake, if you can get up close and personal with the card. I am still bleeding from buying a Wolverine News Cobb, subjecting it to everything but an electron microscope. I submitted it at the National and Scott delivered the blow, saying it was a very, very good counterfeit and nearly had fooled him. Ouch. My own private agony.
