John,

The link in your last post was a "dead end". A rebacked fake would be really special - total double whammy, add the extra coating and now I'm out of the bidding....

I'd ask the seller the dimensions of the card. My guess is that it comes up short and narrow. Unfortunately this Royer crap has been around for a few years...

Hey, would you be interested in a Larry Corcoran OJ if it had a Royer Stamp?

That link is for all the threads with Royer in it. Royer Corcorans are very rare so of course I'd want one or two or all of them

Hi, what are the dimensions of the card? Thanks, Matt
A: Hi, thanks for your interest and your question. The card is about 2 3/8" long by about 1 5/16" wide. I hope that this helps and good luck if you decide to bid. Best regards, RJ

That's actually pretty close to the size of a standard OJ. In any case, don't waste your time or money bidding on it. If you sent it to SGC or PSA it shouldn't receive a grade (numerical or AUTH).

Perhaps I missed something, but how can you tell that this is a fake?

Well the Royer stamp is the giveaway here. They are often smaller than normal, with a yellow tint and the backing is different from a real OJ, usually darker and grainy. The picture is usually fuzzy, like a second generation photo. This one has a glossy finish too

Look at Val's scans in this thread:

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=144552

There are no real OJs with Royer stamps. I don't know when these were created. One thing I've noticed is that they are all 1887 type B cards.

It's a reference to the stamps on the back that many reprints like these can be found with. Jos. Royer Confectionery
