This is probably the 3rd fake, similar to this card stock, I have handled in the last year....I bought one other and another dealer had me look at some cards that were eventually found to be fake. I did not know this was fake when I bought it but when I got it I knew the paper didn't "feel" right. It didn't feel smooth as my hundred or so other cards from this era feel. The seller I got this from is reputable and has offered a full refund of course. I don't buy fakes on purpose as I have the luxury of buying them anyway I guess I have bought around 5000 vintage cards in the last 8-9 yrs and only have about 1 $40 I kept as I just didn't feel like returning it for a credit with the seller....he did offer though.....Hang around this board, buy some books (David Rudd has a few) about forgeries and/or paper, and stay in the hobby long enough, and you will learn. It's like osmosis...it just seeps through your skin.....regards
