Can you spot the counterfeit?

These are some cards that were recently shipped to us. Two of them had to be returned because they look very suspicious.

    I saw the Yogi Berra card the other day on here and started looking at ebay for the same card. I am no expert on this, but it seems the original ‘49 Bowman cards have red and blue print on the back side. There are reprints from like ‘83 or ‘86 of the 1949 Bowman cards and they all had black print on the back side. I am glad you caught these cards as I would hate to see someone pay hard earned money for a reprint they thought was an original. Keep up the good work.

    You are correct. The original had the red ink on the back.

    Thanks, we will keep doing our best to make it safe to collect without having to worry about getting burned.
