Genuine 1972 Venezuelan?

Here is a close up shot of the Garvey from one of the pics I took before selling the album. It's a bit pixelated because I had to zoom in quite a bit:

The coloring of the TCMA album is much crisper and the letters seem bolder on my copy and I have always assumed the worst since I learned of the potential counterfeit stamps. I would have to pull out my copy to be sure that the scan isn't appearing a bit different than the actual item too.

A bunch of 1972 Venezuelan Stamps of high end players just showed up on eBay from a certain consignment seller. Just my opinion, but I don't believe they are legitimate, they look like the fakes that have shown up in the last few years. Authentic examples are on the left, the questionable ones are on the right. Hopefully PSA has stopped grading those.

Yeah, that Ryan looks extremely fishy.

Thanks for the heads up Cliff. Was looking at those earlier this morning.

Thanks for saving me the headache! I had my eye on them as well!

Those graded 72 Venezuelans sure sold for a lot. I hope for the buyers' sake that they are real.
