Real maybe, I would want a scan of the back of the musial. The Dimaggio has about 100 color variations to the background. With the staining and creasing it looks real or someone has way too much time on their hands.
Currently completing the following registry sets: Cardinal HOF's, 1961 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1972 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1980 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, Bill Mazeroski Master & Basic Sets, Roberto Clemente Master & Basic Sets, Willie Stargell Master & Basic Sets and Terry Bradshaw Basic Set
they look real to me. look at his other auctions. seems like selling walker cooper and sid gordon 48 bowmans with writing on the card is not something that is going to make anyone rich. The attic story is a bit scary but based on the other cards he's selling, he may be telling the truth IMO.

They're reprints - ya gotta understand that these reprints have been around now for a number of years, and they can start taking on wear characteristics of genuine vintage cards, especially genuine cards which have basically been well stored since the 70's or 80's. So a 20 or so year old reprint bounced around in a drawer and handled can start looking like wear on a genuine older vintage card.
I dont know but the reprints usually had green printed backs. The fronts also had a different tint to them. Looks pretty damn real to me. I think what is throwing a wrench into the works is having a card of Sid Gordon with the writing on it and charging the same opening bid for stars and commons alike. If its a marketing tool to make people think all of them are real, than this guy is a genius. Usually scammers arent, so take your pick. Im on the fence with this one...
I don't think hell gets that hot. I don't know where you live but here in Oklahoma with the humidity so high in the middle of summer well you know, see the above quote.

Fake. I only say this because if you have to ask then they are probably fake.

If anyone saw the movie "Basic" - Travolta says - "all we gotta do is tell the story right."
Now this is just a guess - he shoulda said basement - that would back up the moisture - the attic?
My attic is bone dry and hot as hell.
