In addition, the photos make the pieces look like they are curled up which would rarely happen with a cabinet card. The cardboard mounts are extremely thick. The washed out photos are the biggest giveaway to me though. Plus you can see the mount on the Sporting Times is beveled (I said bezel earlier.....think that's for a watch) but the fake is not. The old 'too good to be true' adage also holds true on 'finds' like this.
