For all you vintage collectors out there, here is a perfect example of what a counterfeit 1967 Topps Baseball card looks like. Especially visible on Robinson’s black sleeve, you can see dot matrix printing dots. Authentic cards do not have this style of printing. Not only are the edges and corners too perfect, take a look how bright the card is too. The baseball bat is almost the same color as the white border. A real one would never look like this even if it were left under direct sunlight. It almost looks as if Robinson is standing in a hot zone after a nuclear explosion. That’s how bright it is.
This is the back of the same card. Again, its way too bright. That color green should be much darker.
This is an example of an authentic ’67 Topps card. As you can see, there is no dot matrix printing style and the color is nice an smooth. For as good of condition this card is in, the right edge shows a little wear unlike the counterfeit.
This is the reverse of the authentic card. The color green is a lot darker.
I’m sure this isn’t the first time this information has been posted, but it can’t hurt to be repeated.
