Fakes have a black line around his cap, or a more pronounced one anyhow.

Bingo.....you got it, buddy.

The real 1963 TOPPS #537 rookie card does not have a faint black trace line around Rose's cap....as is noticeable on these two counterfeit cards.

Since 1982, I have had these two fakes with me at every BB card show I have set up at. And, if I had charged a $5 fee to the numerous customers
that have asked to see these fakes (in order to note the difference, or compare their Rose rookie), I would have had enough $$$$ to buy me a 1933
Goudey #53 Babe Ruth card (PSA4) to upgrade my set
