Here are the 51 Bowman pics from larietrope. Larger card is the size of a 53 color Bowman. Not an expert on this issue but both look fake to me.

You can tell the big one isn't real based on the corner wear. The back of the small one just looks off color.

Default Mantle cards
Not questioning authenticity, wanted to know if anyone had any information on the large one. I had not seen one before.

There have been a number of reprints made over the years, some of which I'm sure are oversized. This one looks artificially aged, so I'd venture to say it's just a straight counterfeit.

You see many counterfeit cards like these being sold on etsy. Where did you get these 2? Most legit reprints will have REPRINT and/or the new manufacture date on them.

Also did you compare them to any of the fakes being sold on eBay?

Not questioning authenticity on a fake card? Ok then, what would you like to know besides it's worthless? I doubt you will find out who made it. It looks to be made out of cardboard, does that help?
