I am thinking only the Ruth is real. The Joe D looks way too new. Second one has "fake age" wear.

I'm not an expert but the DiMaggio seems to be good. I know it's hard to tell by a cell phone pic but even if its not this lot cost me almost nothing.

I would save your money on the Joe D. It isn't real.

Can you elaborate please? I am no expert by any means. I'm not sure what to look for

Plus the hole punches look fresh. There is no discoloration our aging on the cardboard exposed by the hole. No one would have punched holes in that card recently. It is worth to much.

The card stock is the same as my other 48 Leaf but I'm skeptical (and optimistic). I hear you on the hole punches.

I hope I'm wrong but I doubt that I am.

I hope so too. Like I said I have a little over 10$ into the whole thing so even if it is a reprint I'm not out alot. Figured it was worth a shot

Answer me this, where did you pick this up? If on Ebay please link the auction to me. If you don't feel comfortable you can pm me with it.

And here is the reason it is fake. If he is seeking these as reproductions that should tell you enough about your card.

Plus he sold a fake Griffey autograph.

Lol.

I hear you (even though i dont want to). I still may give it a shot. Even if it is I'm only out a small amount


I really appreciate the feedback though cause I don't know much at all about vintage
