Are counterfeit's getting better?
I haven't seen many fakes recently until this one popped up in a facebook group dedicated to cracker jacks. The poster claimed he found it in his deceased father's things and was asking if it was real. From the picture it looked pretty good until I noticed one major glaring mistake with the back (which unfortunately I didn't get a screen grab of) which immediately ID'd it as counterfeit. The annoying part is the scammer probably got enough info from the group to go back and fix the error.
It's surprising to me we don't see more counterfeit cards being made given the valuations in our hobby. Hopefully the TPG's are sophisticated enough to catch these if attempted to be graded.
Have you seen an increase in fakes recently?
