How To Spot A Fake Brett Hull 1988-89 O-Pee-Chee RC #66

Thousands of counterfeit Brett Hull 1988-89 O-Pee-Chee #66 rookie cards entered the market during the early 1990’s.  Many are still floating around deceiving collectors today.

Counterfeit examples exhibit the following characteristics:

• The absence of a small yellow dot found on the push-pin next to Hull’s name on the front.
• The dots around Hull’s nameplate on the front are lighter in color, especially the ones which are on his photo.
• Ragged and broken type on the back.
• Filling in of the center of the upper case “A” in the type next to the NHL logo on the card’s back.
• The text on the card’s back is fatter, thicker, and tends to blend together.  Very noticeable on the O-Pee-Chee logo.
