I have no doubt if I went searching for them I could find more. Why in the world would someone take the time to photoshop a 1975 Hostess or a 1979 Kellogg's card and then send the scan to a web site? ETA: The member at Trading Card Database who submitted the disputed 1968 Topps 3rd series checklist variation scan is also the same member who submitted the fake 1979 Kellogg's Pete Rose and Carl Yastrzemski variation scans, iffie99. |
