Show us your fakes

[Zach Wheat]

Clayton,

It is a lot easier to tell the pixelation of fake Exhibits if you compare them side to side with a real one. The fake ones will have a distinct fuzziness in terms of the quality of the picture. It is difficult to spot at first. Once someone pointed that out to me, I wondered why I never noticed it before.

I know this will sound strange, but you couldn't see it for looking at it. or as the old addage .... you couldn't see the forest for the trees!

Here are a few, actually all of the bogus cards I've purchased in my day...besides a fro-joy babe ruth sheet purchased 20 years ago in college. The cross was sold to me at a nat'l when I was a kid...having no knowledge of the set...the non-black back is a sure give-away. The others are blatant...poorly scanned ebay jobs...both less than $10 each...so I didn't bother to complain when I received them.

Wow David-that actually is a scan of your card.So this rawoysterman steals scans of people's cards and creates his own reprint,and sells them on ebay?
What a shame.
