Here are some tips from KSA Grading on how to spot a fake Patrick Roy 1986-87 O-Pee-Chee #53 Rookie card.
“One of the trickiest counterfeits to spot, the Roy RC still has traits that the other counterfeit cards have. Look closely at the O-Pee-Chee logo in the top left corner, if you notice that the black lines in the oval and the text are dotted, you probably have a reprint. One other area of flaw, but not as reliable is the “Patrick Roy” on the front of the card. On all of the reprints the blue and white bleed together. Be careful though, because of poor printing equipment in the earlier years, some of the authentic Roy cards also have a bit of colour overlap, but with a different consistency. “

I had a card graded by Beckett, a Bobby Orr rookie card that they gave back to me as a possible fake. No other explaination, and no comments on why they thought that this card was a fake. I spent a lot of money to have several cards graded and this is what I paid for. NOTHING? If they are going to accuse you of having a fake card the least they could do is give you reasons as to why they consider this to be. I will never have Beckett grade another card of mine, this is the most unproffessional grading company I’ve been involved with.
I have one that does not seem to have these attributes but it isn’t printed on the back. Now there arent any error roy rc cards that i heard of except this one. Think it’s a fake?
Can you send me a scan of the card?
there are legitimate blank-back cards from this set
I have an autogrphed wayne gretzky card, but i think it’s a fake, cause i looked at all official gretzsky cards and i noticed all his auto’s are first name and last name side by side , the one i have has the first name on top of his last name
