I’ve no knowledge of the specific cards nor origins of fakes.

However, I’d suggest that certain fakes are South American. I say that simply because I was a victim of much South American fake memorabilia - not cards but printed nevertheless.

Much of the South American fakes arose after the 1999 Sotheby’s Sports Memorabilia Auction. I bought strongly at the auction and items over the next years. Many fakes - esp of paper items.

I was told later that they still had paper stock from the early 1900s and printing presses too so they could produce items perfect from yesterday today. I don’t know how true that is.

However, I do know that certain football (soccer) programs that would have been unheard of two decades ago (1930 World Cup Final) are now commonplace.

Same as 1930 World Cup Finals tickets. Must have been more tickets for sale of the 1930 World Cup Final on eBay in past 10 years than attendees at the game.

A lot is wrong ... don’t think it is limited to Italy.
