Do these look a bit off?....Willards Ruth, Cobb etc...

[kmac32]

all auctions no longer listed. Guess that proves they were fakes.

Are the borders for the W572 really too wide? Here's an example of an uncut strip for a W572, which seems to show those borders would be possible.

If the borders aren't definitive for determining those cards are fake, is there anything else besides the fading of the cards? If it's the fade issue, could sun damage have caused it? (No, I did not purchase these cards from this seller off ebay. )

On the authentic Ruth there is a thin black border around the image; this is most noticeable on the bottom right corner. This didn't appear on the fake.

All taken down. I think that has more than something to do with y'all.

I think two of them are back up.

Kind of hard to tell on these two. The others that were taken down were more off register....

The Berk Ross looks off to me. I had this handy this morning for comparison.

Thanks, Daryl, I never noticed that. I checked out the W572 Ruth's that I've owned, and they've all had that thin border. I looked through some of my other W572's that I've had before, and there are some cases where the border was very light.
