Here are some of the others:
Too grainy of an image to tell for sure, but kind of looks like distressed crazing


Centered, rounded corners, and over bright?


Centered, rounded corners, and WST/bleedthrough doesn't look like it's in the right place on back


Jordan: Yellow ribbon looks same color. No back picture to see if other signs of fakes present


And would someone really consign Goudey Ruths and a T206 Eddie Plank (isnt a Piedmont 350 back impossible?) to this auction house? They can't even spell basic words correctly. Maybe I should email my contact at FDLE in consumer fraud.

The Goudey Ruths are all counterfeit, even from these awful scans. I would not bid on anything in this auction, if I was you.
Thanks so much for this info. This is exactly what I was curious about. I’ll continue my search. Heritage looks like they have some good auctions coming up. Thanks again!
