Yeah, but it's really easy to replicate those stamps. Heck, I did this on my computer with MS Paint in about 4 minutes. Imagine what I could do with better software, or a strong ink stamp!

Both of the fake ones posted look really fake to me. I realize that they were quick attempts and not really intended to fool but even those that try really hard have a hard road ahead. We, as a collecting community, look at these cards really closely, more so even than people with counterfeit money. We scan them, share them and look at them over and over.
If I put a loop up to either one of those posted, once they are printed out, I'm going to see a dot pattern. And if you make a stamp, you will notice that each stamp that you create is slightly different than what you intended, letter spacing slightly off, line separation, etc. So, I don't think it would be as easy as it seems. Our community also has a vested interest in protecting the integrity of our cards, just as the Treasury Department has an interest in protecting the value of currency. We ought to be very protective.

Anything can be done with software, getting them past knowledgeable collectors is the tougher step.
  As for what can be done with a stamp we have seen that already.  http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=112134 Last edited by wonkaticket; 10-09-2012 at 01:15 PM.

A lot can be done with curent technology, but it always leaves a trace of what it is. Maybe not visible in a scan, but it's there.
The rubber stamped stuff is probably the easiest, but geting it exactly right would be difficult. The one that amazes me the most at how much recognition it gets is toy town. It's just the rubber stamp from a game that was available when the cards were current. A tiny toy post office complete with tiny letters and stamps and a toy town rubber stamp to cancel the stamps. It could get stamped on anything, and like most stuff for kids probably did. Steve B

Wonks, Jay, Steve B
+1....
THANK GOd we have a community to turn to...  sgc and psa are not fast to slab a "ghost" or "overprint"....they are very scrutinous... most of these type errors are scrap.....some are factory inserted, but most are scrap.... great thread tho  Tim c, Jim, Keven S. , and many others here could differentiate in person, but seeing the cards on the monitor , it's tough to tell.... but i have to say, the reprint "franken-errors" do look cool if you don't wan't to shell out multi - k for a cool t206
