Easiest way to spot a fake '85 OPC Lemieux rookie (pics)

The easiest way to spot a fake 1985 OPC Lemieux is to
check out the upper right Penguins logo (directly below).
If you understand the printing process it's easy to spot a
fake. I have also posted a couple of pics of the real thing
and a fake (see other pics below). And finally, never buy
an '85 OPC Lemieux graded by Gem Grading/Elite Co.
They are the definition of a NON-LEGITIMATE 3rd party
grading co.

A commom fake like this one (directly below) tends to have
a red tint around the edges. OPC fakes will also tend to
have very sharp and perfectly straight edges.

Real '85 OPC Lemieux rookies (directly below) tend to have
that classic OPC rough cut and the upper left side tends to
curve inward.

And if you're looking to buy a graded '85 OPC Lemieux
rookie, STAY AWAY FROM GEM GRADING/ELITE GRADING CO.!!!
