Sandy Koufax 1955 Rookie found, real or fake?

[dodger4life]

So my brothers wife bought a box of books at a garage sale in sun city arizona and as we were going through the books we found several baseball cards from the 1940's and 1950's tucked inside book pages. We ended up with about 60 cards in total and I wanted to see if they are real or fake and if anyone here would have an idea. Here is a picture of the Koufax rookie. Thank you everyone. I know in years past we have found some gems going to garage sales out here and never came accross cards yet.

I was at a cheezy auction once and there were a ton of old text books from the 30's thru the 60's that came out of someone's library. I always heard that sometimes you might find a nice card used as a bookmark so I spent literally two hours flipping through pages hopeing to find a hidden gem (while missing most of the regular auction in the mean time) I found all sorts of shopping lists, index cards, a report card from a high school, a birth announcment as well as anything else but a card. Then in the last box when I was sure I had just wasted my time I was flipping through an old book on astronomy and as the pages flew by, my eye caught a glimps of a small card with bright color on the front go by. My heart jumped and my stomach shot up into my throat. As I quickly looked back to find the page the book opened back up and there in front of my eyes was a genuine 1948 bird watching card. A freaking sparrow. Two hours spent flipping and hopeing and I get a common no less. Oh well, it's good to know there is someone out there with better luck in the book/ card game.

BTW if it turnes out that the '48 sparrow was a gold mine and I was to ignorant to know... I still don't want to know.
