Anyone else's heart kind of sink as soon as you saw the scans?

You seem pretty decent Bobbie - get them returned, and get some of the real deals. I'd hate to see your enthusiasm dampened at this point. I may be biased like some of the others, but once you actually own a real vintage card it's hard to imagine that anything virtual would be the same.

And yes, people can tell just by looking. How? The beauty of this board is that if you read it long enough you will know how to tell just by looking. After awhile of reading and seeing scans and "listening in" to the experienced collectors comparing real to fake, etc, you just kind of get a feel for it. Then all of a sudden you can start picking out some of them just by pictures.

Tell the seller no dice, and move on to the good stuff!
