Maybe this is so obvious that no one's mentioning it...
Have you actually seen this Johnson Fatima card in person? They have color to them, kinda sepia. I could envision a monochrome fake that looks like that one, and such a fake might fool someone. The wear looks typical for the issue. It looks like a B&W scan of a real one. And a copy would look like that, too. If you look at the back of the card (not that scan of the card but the card itself) there should be no toning where it looks like the paper isn't flat. These Fatimas are quite thin. Thin photographic paper. If you haven't seen that Johnson Fatima in person, ask the guy to send you a color scan. Last edited by FrankWakefield; 11-06-2009 at 03:50 PM. |

I thought the same thing about the color when I saw it. It does look more black and white than sepia.

I assumed it was a black and white digital image-- as the background is black and white too. As others have said, the Johnson looks pretty good except it's black and white. Fatimas have a bit of color to them, usually a sepia or brownish tint. The originals often have front surface cracks like with the Johnson.
