W-575-2 Question

[Archive]

Posted By: Paul

Are there any experts out there on the W-575-2 (autograph on shoulder) set? I now have 4 of these cards, and they are all a little different. Three are on very thin stock, and one is on fairly thick stock. Of the three thin-stock cards, one is much more yellow than the others. This could be from age or from different stock. Of the two lighter colored thin-stock cards, one is a slightly different tone than the others. I'm wondering if some of them may be fake. I've looked at them all under a magnifying glass and, as far as I can tell, they all were printed using the same dot pattern technique. Any suggestions about how I can tell if any of these are fake? Thanks.

I would also be interested to hear a little more. I just picked up a George Kelly and an Urban Faber in raw form for my HOF portrait collection. I don't know much about the issue and hope the cards are authentic.

Paul - I will be happy to forward you details (paper stock, color, etc.) once they are received - just e-mail me.

Thanks. The "thick" one that I have is Kelly, so I'll be interested to see what yours is like.

If you send them to my lil old post office box with an SASE, I will return them with a note detailing which ones are real and which ones, if any, are not.
