For whatever reason embossed scraps from back then tend to be glossy. Something to do with manufacture. Perhaps they added a varnish so the shape was kept. Flat scraps and trade cards tend to matte.
I've never seen forgers attempt to duplicate embossment. Too much work and detail. They either leave out the embossment or forge cards that aren't embossed. And the R & S are the double whammy of embossed and die cut. So much easier to forge those flat rectangular 1952 Topps Mantles. Last edited by drc; 02-26-2012 at 06:34 PM.
