Bring the corrrect tools
Just looked at a fake 53 and 52 Bowman the other day. Essential tools:
1) A known real 1952 Topps card (any player) - to compare feel, size and appearance 2) A ruler to make sure it measures correct 2 5/8 x 3 3/4 3) a 10 power loupe - under magnification a fake will appear to have a "dot pattern" over areas that should be solid color 4) a blacklight to check for recoloring and alteration 5) a printout of the signs to look for on a fake - readily available with a google search for both type 1 and type 2 cards. 6) Common sense - applied as needed Good luck - let us know how it works out. Ps Was this a "Craigs list find"? If so be EXTRA careful Last edited by hcv123; 02-27-2020 at 08:08 AM.
