in Buy, Sell & Trade - Cards & Memorabilia
I have been burned by counterfeits of this card graded by Gem Grading, I have also heard from several people who
have gotten Pro graded fakes. Can anyone tell me how to spot the counterfeits? I have a BGS 7.5 and recently
purchased a PSA 9 of this card, but quite honestly the PSA 9 looks more like the fakes than the BGS graded card.
Anyone have any experience with this card? Thanks.

    I don't know about telling the differance, but I got 2 PSA 8. I know getting it in a 9 is a huge feat.

    What bothers me is the PSA 9 has slightly worse focus than the BGS 7.5 or the Gem fakes.
    The PSA also has a noticably darker green border than the BGS or the fakes. I suppose the
    BGS could be a fake.

    The green border is one way of telling, the others are the "W" in Pawtuckett & the print dots on the front and back of the card.
