Do you prefer the fake to be a beater, or mid-grade?

LOL....get all you can and recoup!! The hobby doesn't care about fraud all it cares about is PWCC shipping cost, don't ya' know?

Hint- 2 of the 7 listed above are real, ALL have real T206 fronts, skinned (except the 2), with inkjet printer printed backs.

I'll guess Starr and Lennox are real

The fake backs lack crisp lines. From the scan, some of the lines look slightly blurred.

If they sanded the backs off, they destroyed the sizing layer in the process, making the paper porous, which would cause a slight amount of bleeding.

So you can tell which two of the seven are real? Which two are they?

guessing starr and lennox as well - I had to kick out the one with black paper on the back - just because.

I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out which is the second real one. Only Lennox looks good to me.

Only the Evers looks real to me. The serifs on the letters are nice and sharp and the color is dark. It's tough to tell if the blurriness is due to the scanner or the card. I'd have to examine them.
