1968 Topps Bench Rookie
Hey Guys,
I managed to have a "first" in my collecting career! I traded some new shiny cards for a 1968 Bench rookie, and much to my surprise, when I took it to show a local dealer my new "prize", he took out a loupe, and proceeded to tell me I finally have my very own "COUNTERFEIT" card! Woo-hoo! I heard these existed, but being a primarily prewar collector, never suspected someone would take the time to counterfeit a $50 card! I should have suspected something was up, because the front had a "washed out" sun faded appearance, but thats just my own lack of knowledge that cost me this time. Now I know to be a little more cynical at local card shows. Just thought I would share this unique personal experience with the board! Brandon

I was looking at Bench cards last night on the bay and wondering if some were fake, seem to be alot of them on there. Im not sure how to tell with that particular card but i am sure someone on here has the info.

Hey David,
I will try to get a scan of it. My scanner is acting up so I might have to use a friends' scanner so I will post ASAP.
