steve yawitzI've probably purchased 200-300 raw T206's on eBay over the years and can't recall receiving a single fake. I'd guess that maybe 2-3 percent of the cards were trimmed and probably a small fraction altered in some way that I - and PSA, since up until about 18 months ago I submitted everything - could not detect.
The overall percentage of bogus and doctored cards on eBay is probably higher - you'll quickly learn to avoid sellers whose listings radiate bad vibes from cyberspace straight through your monitor - but I think the risk of buying bunk cards at that end of the condition scale is overstated by those with a vested interested in the grading game.
