Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

In recent years Goudeys, Dia. Stars, and Play Balls have been reproduced to such an accurate
degree with respect to the fronts of these cards that it is very difficult to discern a "fake" as
viewed on a computer screen.

However, the backs of these "fakes" reveal that they are phony. Although, the backs of these
cards are very good reproductions, there is a "pinkish" tint to the normally white cardboard
back of these cards that betrays them as phony.

I have deliberately purchased a few of these "fakes" off ebay so I could get a close look at
them.....so beware.
