Here's the Hindu Mordecai Brown sold last week from the same seller. Any thoughts?

The fronts have been fine. It's the backs that have not been so fine.

To me, the Hindu back's color appears to be wrong. It looks more of a burgundy color than brown or red.

My guess is that the seller may have taken Piedmonts or Sweet Caporals, and rebacked them with fake rare backs.

Since we are on this subject.
What do you guys think about this card?
It’s raw and if real do those marks on face side
constitute a MK qualifier in your humble opinion.
Thanks

[Luke]

Yeah they are all real fronts and fake backs.

What a find for this seller, hall of famers with tough backs on scrap book
paper thin enough to see through

Larry, can you post a high res scan of part of the back.

I agree that m brown back looks almost red... and appears kind of grainy to me.

The Hindu looks obviously miscolored, but what was the tip-off on the Coupon backs? I'm trying to educate myself on how to spot these?

Subsequently, outside of eBay, do the other auction sites vet these things? I.e., is it safer to buy raw cards from Sterling, Heritage, etc.?

Ebay vets nothing. It doesn't matter where you buy any of these type of raw cards you need to be careful. Buy from a trusted source is #1. The backs of these fakes will look a little blurry but are very, very good and can/have fooled longtime experts in the field. So far I am not aware of them getting past the TPGs though the big 3 have all handled these fakes recently and caught them.
