A little OT as these aren't prewar, but three of these cards are counterfeit. I bought them knowing they were fake so I could get an idea of what a fake one could look like in person. They are fairly easy to spot in hand, but mixed with other low grade authentic cards, they kind of blend well.

I also have a fake T206 Cobb green portrait and a W514 Jennings that was reprinted. Again, easy to tell in hand, but looks ok in a scan. The Cobb is an obvious fake though, even in a scan. I don't have images of these two handy or I would post them.
