Default Forgeries bought from board expert

Scott--

What made the auctioneer suspect they were no good? The stamp box markings, the paper? Also, what were the subjects?

Actually, if you could post a picture that would certainly be helpful, because there probably are other similar fakes floating around.

For instance, last year brought with it many instances of fake Yankee Stadium/Babe Ruth postcards on eBay and at postcard shows that even duped some dealers.

Here's an example of the fake Yankee Stadium cards, with Ruth. No such cards exist with Ruth -- the originals just feature the stadium in the inset. More importantly, the fakes are all made on photocopiers or laser printers and have a different publisher: "Blair Cedar & Novelty Works."
