Real or fantasy fakes?
 
Never seen these in over 50 years of collecting and personally opening 100 packs of 1967 Topps as a kid. Real regional inserts or clever modern fake fantasy pieces? What do you think?? https://www.ebay.com/itm/27498790968...8AAOSwqBhhauwi

Looks like an advertisement for the 1967 Topps Posters. Looks real to my untutored eye.

These are up for sale on ebay now and then but I've never seen one in person either. They don't look hard to counterfeit though, do they.

At that price kinda cool to throw those in the back of the set binder...

I don't have any opinions on the item. I saw them before, as I sometimes look through his listings. Not sure if the seller has a presence on these types of communities, but I will say I know him (not that it means anything to anyone that I know him).

I can't say I know him well, but he is local to me and I have met him twice to pick up items I won from him on ebay. Seems like a decent guy. The first time was at his house, the 2nd was closer to my office and he did that as a courtesy to me.

I don't get the impression that he would be trying to scam anyone. He is a collector and sells extra stuff, I presume to help feed the habit most of us have for this stuff. Also thinking you don't invite complete ebay strangers to your house on the first transaction if you plan to scam people. Probably not a good business plan there.

thank you
 
I appreciate everyones kind responses. I had another Net54 person post that they actually had remembered getting these in some packs back in 1967 and he still had some in his collection when he checked from back then.... so I guess they are the real deal after all!! Rocky

I have a set of the Pin Ups with my 67 Topps set and had picked up a middle section for this item years ago, so decided to pick up this "set". These 3 pieces like my earlier middle piece are on waxy paper. Not sure why the 4 pieces I have would have been cut the way they are, but happy to have them whatever they are
