On the Bowman, I’m not a fan of how the red ink on the back is blurry around the edges. On mine, the printing is very crisp. I’m far from an expert on the set, but that’s a red flag to me.

Both fake. Seen a million of these. Paper stock looks Xeroxed, artificial aging.

Don’t want to be a spoilsport but the info is correct. These are both hand cut color copies.

The centering is way too good to be real.

These are both definitely fake. These creases and wrinkles are dead giveaways. The paper loss from the crease damage is more flaky looking than aged looking. Go look at a creased mantle that's in a slab and examine the paper wear you see on it and you'll immediately see the difference. Also, look at the 51 Bowman paper stock on the back. There are two different paper stock colors on yours. You'll never see that on an original. There are many other ways to tell real from fake, but these don't even come close. Still a kind and thoughtful gesture though from your sister though
