I recently started to put together a set of the 60 multi-sport cards that appeared on the back of Wheaties boxes in 1952 - out of the mainstream, manageable size set, not too expensive, don't have to be mint, some nice stars, etc. I looked them up in Lemke's Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards and found a note saying that they were "extensively counterfeited circa 2002."
Can anyone tell me how to distinguish the counterfeits from the authentic cards? Different card stock? Glossy finish? |

Some ancient Forum threads on the subject:
https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...=1952+Wheaties https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...=1952+Wheaties At that time, I tried to find the source of Lemke's information, but could not. Maybe another member would have it. Last edited by Volod; 11-21-2022 at 01:29 PM. |

Not any help but I have Bobs Sportscard Counterfeit Detector 2nd edition from 1993 and they are not listed in it. I highly recommend grabbing one for the great info they have on spotting counterfeits.
