When you think about Brett Favre rookie cards, his #611 card from the 1991 Score Football set certainly isn’t the first one that pops in your head. Most collectors immediately think about his 1991 Topps Stadium Club #94 RC. Although his Stadium Club card is his most notable rookie, Upper Deck, Classic, Pro Set, and Score each issued less-popular versions of their own.
Why in the world would someone want to counterfeit a Score card from the junk-wax era? Perhaps that’s exactly what these counterfeiters were thinking when they were printing these fakes up. I like to believe they were hoping to catch collectors off guard.
For under $5 this card can easily be added to your collection. But please be careful. In 2007, counterfeit examples began to arrive.
Its extremely easy to spot a counterfeit. Keep these thoughts in mind:
- No card number. That’s right! These genius counterfeiters completely forgot to place the “611” on the back.
- Locate the NFLPA logo on the back. On counterfeits this logo is very smudged. Not crisp and clear like an authentic example.
- The gold border on the back is not the correct color. Counterfeit copies tend to have a brighter gold border.
