Default Ever seen a fake 1971 Topps Pete Rose?
Found this card online. Seller fully admitted that he had questions about the authenticity of it. It was $10 shipped, so I figured what the heck.

Quality looks good but I believe it’s a fake. The pete rose, blue dot and outfield are all offset from known examples, shown here.

Who’s out there faking 71 Rose’s? I know the rookies were faked, but this seems like an odd choice to make a fake from. Anyone ever seen a fake 71 Rose before?
