MattI was wondering if any out there could share their tips on authenticating 1939 Play Ball cards, aside for the usual paper-stock thickness and quality. Since the cards are simple black and white images on the front, coloring or stamping of player names isn't available as an indicator. Below are two images of an authentic (99% sure, but correct me if I'm wrong) Joe D - the second is a blow up of the area at the top of the card by his hat. What would I see in a forgery to know that it's a fake?
