I used to get many postcard auction catalogs and one talks about AZO fake postcards involving highend cards of varying subjects. Yankee and Babe Ruth cards were specifically mentioned. This catalog was issued in 1999. Here are some of the signs they said to look for.

All examples display uneven or ragged trim around the margins, but are otherwise unused, and appear unusually clean with bright white back paper.

The back markings were made with a stamp and not printed on.

The subject is out of sync with the back style as far as dates.

Dot matrix present.

Sepia-toned colors but have an oversaturated look.
