Lesson/Help

[Enfuego]

Need a little help/class on detecting fake cards. Any info on E94 cards and Yuenglings Ice Cream cards will be of great help? As of now, I own a E94 Ty Cobb (Olive Drab Background) and a Yuenglings Ice Cream (Ty Cobb). Before I begin to expand on these sets I need to know what to look for as far authenticity.

Again thanks alot for any help.

I'm not an expert on either of those sets, but the fact that you have two legitimate examples is a huge plus. You can compare those to any potential purchases with the naked eye, under magnification to compare printing dot patterns (or lack thereof), as well as comparing them under black light. Of course this only helps if you are looking at the cards in person, but I'm sure you'll get more insight from other board members

Examine the cards you have under different magnification levels. Look at the edges and dot patterns. Buy a cheap black light and put them under it. I am not sure there are many tricks to spotting bad cards from these series anymore than by handling them and getting to know them.

Post scans on here and you will know in short order if they are good or not. The better the front and back scan the easier to let you know. Both issues have lots of experts on this board who will know, most will also point out if they are fake, why.

They both appear to be copies of some type.

Buy a cheap black light and put them under it.

What will this show about real or fake?

Thanks,

in most cases...one just needs their eyes to know if a card is real or fake. examine a known real one next to the card in question under magnification and look at the fine details...it's not rocket science.

By whom? Both cards are obvious fakes.

I think I need help understanding how he was told this (obvious fakes) 3 yrs ago in this thread and is trying to sell them in the 2 threads I posted, which were in the last week or so? And I was completely scolded by the OP in a PM last night for questioning the current sales on the BST?

If you were given confirmation of their authenticity, why aren't the cards graded? That would be confirmation.
