I first saw them about 2001 or so and got burnt on a Kendig, I believe Leon had an Opie Dildock too and learned the same way.
In person they are obviously fake, the stock is not right, the picture is low quality and the cards often have a slight gloss like shellac and sometimes yellowish tone.
Here is one of a few posts on them

The fake that I had bought, from a good ebay seller, was an e121-like "Oodles Chocolate" backed card, not an Oppie Dildock (e94 type). When I received the card it had the same exact characteristics as you mention above, Frank. It had the low quality picture, the yellow'ish brown and sort of rough cardstock, and the back was stamped instead of printed. I sent it to SGC to get another opinion and they confirmed it was counterfeit. I then returned it to the seller for a refund. He sent it to PSA and they put it in a 7 holder. If I remember correctly he threatened them with a lawsuit and I am not sure how the matter eventually got worked out. He and I have since done a few other deals, his name is Matt and I think he went by "ironman" on ebay, or something like that. I think he was some kind of weightlifter because he reminded me of Scott B.....as someone I wouldn't really want to mess with
