This is from the "How to run a Decent Fake Vintage BB Card Auction" thread.

With that scan, how can anyone tell that these are fakes, except for the price?

No matter what the auction, if you don't bid you're
guaranteed to not win a fake.

Those types of reprints are well known. The giveaway is the caption. The caption is too condenced (spacing of letters is too close), wrong font, wrong color ink. Even with the sorry scans it is 100% clear what they are.

The worst part of it...is the high bidder has a feedback of "1" another fake Ty Cobb the she/her paid $400+.
