Most of us been there one way or the other - If you’re a collector stick around the site, there’s always something of interest

i got taken on a similar fake fro joy sheet in the late 80's while in college...I still have it somewhere. I have since completed the fro joy set...the real ones look quite different from the known fakes out there. Lots of nuances to determine real vs fake for these!

I think the Fro-Joy uncut sheet has taken it's toll on many of us. I remember buying one in the 80's and I still have it because somewhere in my mind I refuse to believe it is fake despite the overwhelming evidence that it is indeed fake. I have thought about making it a cool display piece to hang on the wall but that would only remind me of the 20 bucks I blew buying this thing.

Oh yes it has. I remember back in the 1980's when I though my college was paid for because I found a Fro-Joy uncut sheet but unlike everyone else who had the simple B&W ones... well mine was in color! Sigh...

Might not have helped pay for college but I did learn a lesson.

You aren't an idiot, trust me. Any of us that have been in the vintage hobby for 20+ yrs has made that kind of mistake (maybe not with that type card). Now you know!

Check this example. SGC didn't know WTF they were doing either ....
