Circa 2000, a bunch of T206's were in circulation that were being sold on Ebay (and at Shows) that were FAKES. These T206's were very professionally altered, and these cards
fooled many collectors (and even the Grading Co's.). Except some of us, who instantly recognized these cards had front / back combos that were impossible.
Here is an updated list with some more examples which were reported to me via emails. So far, we have identified these 7 fake T206 cards......

There were many more of these fakes in circulation. If you recall others than the 7 which I have listed here, please provide us your inputs.
