Default Fake '33 Goudey Lou Gehrig card on eBay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-LOU-GEH...mZ320518127669

Just in case anybody is thinking about it. The card referenced above is a "FAKE" '33 Goudey Gehrig. Hey, let's be careful out there!

Lovely Day...

I think as a general rule of thumb, anyone who is selling cards from 2000-2010 and no pre-war cards having been sold in the feedback history is selling replicas and reprints. I'm sure there might be one or two exceptions but 99.9% of their pre-war stuff is garbage.

Please educate the ignorant among us (me included) as to what you see visually that tips you off that the card is a fake. Thanks

Yes, I am very interested in getting some education on this aspect of our hobby. It makes for an informed buyer. Thanks in advance for your time in providing us with information.

Disclaimer-I don't know squat about how to tell if or how this is a fake*

I could also learn from a few tips on how to tell the difference in spotting a fake one of these.After I read the OP,I went to ebay and was looking at graded examples,and trying to see the difference between the one in the OP and the graded examples,and I am having a rough time.......the only difference I am seeing,is in the graded examples,I can see the top of the bat extending slightly above the top border(not in full color,just a hint,maybe of the yellow?).Other than that,I'm missing something I guess...........

Sincerely,Clayton

i thought i was the only one that couldn't figure it out. I always look at the ones guys point out as fakes and 75% of the time, i cannot tell....

I don't think i could buy a card with a value over 50$ that is unslabbed simply for the fact i wouldn't want to get ripped off.

It looks real when compared to some pics of graded Gehrigs I just looked at. How can you tell it's a fake ?
