I cant tell if this card looks like an original or a reprint. These are the only pics I have to go off of right now. I am not sure what to look for to spot a fake Aaron rookie. Please let me know what you think, and enlighten me as to how to spot a fake Aaron rookie card, and what to look for. Thanks!

    You will need a rescan of that if possible, it looks too blurry for a real opinion I think.

    IMO...fake...Colors dont look right. Disregard the top right but these are all authenticated.

    Since it has a top border, doesn't that make it fake?

    It doesnt have a top border. I think thats just how the light is hitting the card in the pic.

    Also I just wasnt sure what to think. The color looked a little off to me, but i am no expert, so i thought id post and look for opinions. Sorry for the bad picture.

    I think the colors look a bit off too. I used to own one and that cards tends to hold it's deep color pretty well. Does it pass the smell test?

    JMO, but something just doesn't look right about the top of the card. Looks like it is cut, because there appears to be white on the left side that slopes down to no white line on the top right of the card.

    Top looks funny, and colors don't look right to me. I wouldn't touch it without good solid scans.
