1948 Bowman Musial- real or fake?

I'm not even sure if this card has been counterfeited, but I assume it has. So is the card pictured legit or fake? This is the only pic I can get.

    Hi Lee

    I can't tell anything from a photo like that - but the 48B set was reprinted - so anything's possible?

    Gee I always think of something else when asked "real or fake".........

    It is a poor picture so it is difficult to tell.

    Good luck though.

    Sorry to hijack the OP's thread, but I didnt want to start a new one for the same topic.

    Can anyone tell me if this 1952 Mantle is real or fake?

    Nick- laugh all you want, but when I drop $300 on a NM fake Musial rookie and I can no longer afford to feed my kid and child services takes him away, it's not gonna be so funny.

    Some people forget that this is the "Sports cards & memorabilia forum" and the "rules" set out really don't prevent people from doing much.


    This is one of the better threads people post. I'm happy with the "Is this fake/who's auto is this" rather than the "FAKE ENVELOPE??????!?!??111!!!1111!!!???"
  • Lee, really tough to tell without seeing the back of the card. The 48 Bowman has been reprinted, and is heavily counterfeited. See if you can get a scan of the back and put on the this thread, and I will try to help you out.
  • It looks as good as a a counterfeit Gretzky without the reprint stamp.

    The card was reprinted as an insert into 89 bowman IIRC.

    That's about all I got.

    Good for you.
