So there are two legit versions plus a batch of fakes?

No just 1 real and 1 fake. If you look under a loupe at the green border the real will be solid green on the fakes they are in halftone and will appear pixalated with some yellow.

Yes, there are 2 legit versions with two different font faces, both can be identified by the solid green ink of the background.

On the counterfeits, the green ink is always printed in half-tone (pixelated). The font for the players' names on the counterfeits is both thicker and bolder than the originals.

Guess I was mistaken can you post 2 legits if you have them.

Pictures of all 3 examples are already shown in this thread.

The Rose on the right is authentic with the more common type of lettering.

The Yaz in the SGC holder, as well as the Oliva in the PSA 1 holder, are also authentic, with the less common type of lettering.

The other cards pictured are all counterfeits. Note the thicker, bolder lettering.
