1991 topps desert shield cards need help

[Jim65]

Compare the palms. Genuine cards, the palms stand out like 3D effect, yours the palm are totally flat.

I say fake as well.

Send 1 or 2 to PSA for grading. You'll either be out $50 or find out they're real (or, at least, gradable by PSA...if that's worth anything)

I do not know which is which, but I want to point out in this comparison:

That the OP's pictures show a palm tree with rounded or circular features, while the stamp shown in bnorth's post are more angular.

Yeah totally get what your saying. It looks like the ones that are more angular have crisp outlines and it almost looks like mine bleed out somewhat and as you stated are more round like.

True, still debating on it honestly.

Unless he gets a completely incompetent grader it would be like throwing cash out the window of a moving vehicle.

If you look at the small details in post #5 you will see the only thing that is correct is they spelled OPERATION DESERY SHIELD correctly. Counterfeit logo is on the left and the other 2 are real. I could easily list 20 things wrong with the counterfeit one.

I sent the OP 2 real ones so he can compare his fake ones to them in hand.

Someone on the board is organizing a group submission - $9 a card plus return shipping - so not too big an investment to try!

I would hope Bobby doesn't want someone sending in obvious bad cards with his group submission.

Well, if there’s really no doubt, sure. I’m just saying if there IS doubt, it wouldn’t cost $50 to find out.
