52 topps attic find and detecting fakes

[JohnnyKilroy]

These are in great shape, he said most were like this. The Frank Smith is one I had lying around, but why is the back a different color?

Can someone tell me how you guys post such clear pics?? I take them with my phone, but the file size is too big. I try a scanner, but it comes out like the ones above. There’s got to be a trick I’m missing.

Topps can have different color backs, as they used different card stocks.

My trick is to upload them to my Facebook page (you can set the post to "Only Me" if you don't want to overload your friends with baseball cards). Then go to each image and right click on the picture, then select "Copy Image Link."

Come back to your post and click the icon above the frame with the mountain in front of the yellow sky, and paste your link (make sure to delete the default https or your embedded photo won't display).

Yeah, it can be a pain. Usually if I scan on my computer and post from my computer it works well. Just don't use too high of a dpi setting or your file will be too big.

Card numbers 131-190 are normally found with white backs. Grey backs in that series are rare and command a large premium.
