1952 Wheaties Need Help Verifying Authenticity

[Chesapeake]

I need help with these 1952 Wheaties. From what I have read they look ok but I want to make sure before I list them. Thanks for your help.

Can't imagine there are fakes of this set floating around. Even the major-sport stars generally bring twenty to forty bucks VG to EX. Snead, Pollard? Why would some intrepid counterfeiter bother with those? I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Thanks, I was reading the above link. I came across them in a recent lot I bought and I just don't know a great deal about them. I always try to find out before I list anything that I am not familiar with.

Thanks for the link. I guess I stand corrected. Had not heard of any counterfeiting involving this set, but looks like nothing is beyond those guys.

That is the 1st time I've ever heard of fake '52's also. They sure don't offer anything concrete about them to convince me!

I just looked through my incomplete set and the Musial portrait fits the warning-flag criteria provided by that site - it has snow-white borders and doesn't smell like old cardboard. Hmmm, now I'm wondering - paid around twenty bucks for it some time ago. If that card is a fake, it was very artfully executed, as it appears in all other aspects to be genuine.
