Fantasy pieces

Here is copy Josh Gibson sold
on ebay like five years ago.
Have not seen any more like this.

I cannot tell from the picture of album
The design seems similar but hard to
tell.

Spoke the ebay seller which I did not get from.
He messaged me that he does not have anymore of
these and they are hard to come by.
He claims they are made by the newspaper company
from 50 thru 70s La Aficion.

I remember trying to bid on
the 1957 la afacion josh gibson five years

The card I have and the supposed fakes
look totally different.

Does any one have concrete evidence
to know if they are real or fake
beside bad ebay seller.

Well, I guess you can believe whatever you want, but you've got both experts and victims of this scam testifying here. I guarantee if you look at your card under a microscope you will see the laser printing. This criminal's work isn't hard to identify as a modern fantasy piece; he counts on the difficulties of tracking a return to perpetuate his crimes.

[richardcards]

not laser printed
and not purchased on ebay.

[richardcards]

notice the round corners on my examples
versus the other ones are sharp edges.

Someone would have to sit there for hours
making perfectly round corners.

Its possible these where faked and some orginal
out there.

One last comment from me about these and I’m done.
They are fantasy pieces, La Aficion never made this set.
These cards are make believe and made by one person from Mexico.
They are junk and if someone wants to believe they are real then so be it, I can’t stop people from buying whatever they want, I can just try my best to educate and relay the information I have and what I’ve learned through my own purchases.
Richard if you want your cards to be real then they are real, I think that’s the answer you wanted whether true or false.
Just keep the cards to yourself and don’t sell them and you can call them real.
