The common Yahoo fake is a home computer digital print. If you take a strong magnifyier or handheld microscope, the front image will be made up of a fine multi-color dot pattern (bright color dots). Simplest way to identify a counterfeit of an early card, as early cards did not have that type of pattern.

Buying a few inexpensive coutnerfeits is not a bad deal. It can be an cheap learning experience that leads to smarter purchasing. My collecting motto is that a mistake isn't a mistake if your learn from it and are better.
