I figured out by holding a flashlight directly to the surface of a '52 Topps card that no light will penetrate the card. The best of the bogus cards were printed on stock that let the light go right through it. So, now it appears there is this thing called a "light test" that every '52 Mantle wanna-be fraudster has to pass.
I've read that guide too - that's really cool. You're kind of a big deal.
