Ever seen a fake 1971 Topps Pete Rose?

wow. it's like the other thread on "thin" or possibly fake 64 topps. Seems like a lot of effort, but if you can do a lot of them quickly, I guess every $10 in pure profit adds up?

How does the back look and how does it feel in hand? did they get the stock right?

Back looks nice. The paper stock feels right but it�s a bit less flexible than a normal card. Just a bit more rigid, I guess?

The back looks better than the front. The image doesn't 'feel right'.

The 64's are authentic. I have poor condition common 64's of that type that I can trace back 40 years. No one was faking penny cards; there's just multiple stocks used (even of the same color tone) in most Topps sets.

If you are looking for an obvious reason it�s fake, look at the lower case �t� in �Pete� on the front of the card and compare it to the real ones. Totally different font used in the fake version.

The "r" is different as well.

Again, why go through the effort?

That�s my question as well.

I think it’s a odd practice in photoshop for someone for an inside joke or just fun. There is no reason at all to try to recreate the text and dot, and using a totally different font has to be a purposeful hint. No one would not do that on purpose when they could just use a full front scan.

I think you stumbled on a weird inside prank somehow.

It’s honestly kinda neat because it’s not likely to fool anyone for long.
