I just learned about the ghost a few months ago from a Net54 thread. I own the card yet had never seen it. If you ever get bored, take a look through ebay. It is really cool seeing the various degrees of the ghost. Every card I have seen has one present, but some are much clearer.


Colby, this may sounds strange, but something I do with all older cards is I take them out of the holder and smell them. Older cards tend to get a bit of a musty smell. Obviously, older fakes would likely have this smell as well, so it isn't fool proof. But, it is just another tool to use.
