Default Beware there are lots of E90-1 fakes circulating

These cards are fairly easy to spot if you have a clear scan like the Bresnahan above. I always look at the caption at bottom. When they make/design these reprints they crop just the photo part of the card then have to reproduce the border and have to add a new caption similar to the authentic card at the bottom. Most reprints dont get the caption style, font, or spacing of the letters quite right. On these E90-1 the caption is way to clean and crisp looking and the letters "a", "g", etc. are slightly different in design. Also the ink color is slightly different.

If the scans are smaller and or slightly blury it is much tougher to tell.
