I don't post many of these but so many folks get fooled by this series I feel it's a good thing to post, every now and then. Guaranteed 100% fake... |

It's indeed a fake. There was a thread long ago with comparison photos, it'll take a while. |

Much appreciated. This series and the Fro Joys are the most common fakes on ebay. When you hold one of these fakes you can feel the paper and it sort of has a rough feel to it. Eighty year old paper has a smooth feel to it.....Plus, as has been said, the grainy look is a bad sign...regards |

I haven't dealt in cards in over 15 years, but certainly recall the Fro Joy fakes from many years ago. I can't believe this is still an issue. If knowledge of these fakes was common 20 years ago, how can this still be problematic? I seem to remember the Fro Joys typically being offered in uncut sheet format. |

One easy way I always use is to look at the number in the circle. On most of the fakes if not all, the number is obviously much smaller. |

Good old Stew, he loves buying these cards. |

I love that Stew's feedback is "private." I imagine these scammers leave some pretty colorful feedback once they realize they didn't reel in a live one. |

While we're playing, and learning... I've always thought these were real. Agree? Why? |

I don't like the looks of the 1928 Candy card with Ruth swinging. It might just be the picture but that aging on the front is what a lot of fakes have looked like.....The rest look ok from the scans, to me....You have great experience surely you can tell? I still need a V122 also .... |

Does Stew P. Dazzo sign baseballs? . I think it would be a worthy collectible. |

I agree with Leon on this one, plus I have yet to see a real one without the ad on back though Bill Mastro will argue that point and he could be right and I am wrong. |
