If the seller sold you that and the 31' team photo together I think they may be modern and fake. I bought the two together off a seller a few months ago and both items ended up being copies.

how were you able to tel they were fake? what should i look for?

Mine was obvious- the look and feel were modern. Kind of hard to explain but I could easily tell they were recently printed off. Shame too, I collect Philadelphia memorabilia, I would really, really want a real one!

The supplement should say, "Supplement Of The Philadelphia Record." near the lower bottom left corner. The bottom right corner should have extra text. It should measure 15" x 10" blank back.

It should have a sepia tone hue. If it's black and white, it's NOT original. I have owned a few of these and current have one now.

This is what appears to be missing, I'm afraid it's a reproduction. Here's what an original looks like.

yep... That's it! The sample shown looks like a repo.
