It would be cool to tell how they are fakes, yes it is obvious, but it would be cool to hear someone describe how they are fakes. Who knows…could miss something and it would be fun to hear how people describe fakes along with just looking at them. John

The front alone - picture quality, colors, font, frame. Let alone the back, and the fact it's an impossible combo. It's almost like asking how can you REALLY be sure an apple isn't a banana.

If you're going to fake something, why change everything to make it patently obvious it is fake?

Oh the elusive T206 Foster green EPDG 1/1. It's like the scammer wasn't trying or has no knowledge about the set.

The cards are from one of the reprint sets of the 1980's. They pop up all the time on eBay sometimes listed correctly and also altered by scammers. I have seen them with correct back colors, plain black-, and rainbow-colored backs.
comc has a lot of them listed currently.

Because these weren’t meant to deceive - these are from an early full reprint set that was an honest effort and never supposed to be confused with the originals.

I cannot find the set these originated from. The typical 1980s reprint sets all copied the original font and list clearly they are reprints. And they don't have fake backs with super bad cuts.
