When the winning bid on a 49 Leaf Paige is $113, that should tell you all you need to know.

Okay, but ...
Thanks for the replies, and I'll consider myself lucky [not winning].
But no one yet has told me how he can tell that card is a fake. And that's what I'd like to know, so I won't make such a mistake again. Doug

To me, the colors seem off, and that ring (edge-wear?) around the top and sides of the card would be cause for concern. It looks artificial, as I have never seen a card age like that.

1949 LEAF Paige
There is no certain way of telling from that front scan if it is an original 1949 LEAF card, or a fake. However, here are a few pointers for you......
1st....demand to see a back scan of a card of such value and scarcity as this one. 2nd....Cards of such value ($500 -25,000 depending on its grade) will be invariably graded. A Non-Graded 1949 LEAF Paige is highly suspect. 3rd....CHECK-OUT the seller's feedback Here is the Paige from my 1949 LEAF set. I'm not a fan of graded cards; therefore, my card is un-graded. Should I ever decide to sell this card, I will have SGC grade it. ![[linked image]](http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/zanted86/paige2.jpg) ![[linked image]](http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/zanted86/paigeb.jpg) Best of luck in your quest for this card, as it is one of the toughest post-WWII cards to find.

Be careful of scams for this one
A few months back I purchased one and it turns out it was actually Teds scans and the seller never had the card and I did not notice until I already paid for the card.
Be careful of non graded and even graded as its best to purchase from someone with very high feedback or someone from this board. Best luck Garet

Okay, here's my reasoning:
1. No scan of the back provided. "Huge red flag"! 2. The consistent wear on all four sides is very obvious made to look like a worn authentic card 3. The color is off 4. And finally his location scares the hell out of me if I had to track him down? (St-Gérad des Laurentides, QC, Canada) These are just my feelings, others may have more.
