Local auction house has this in it's online auction this month, looking for opinions
 

I know the pictures are not very good quality, but someone please tell me that these are obvious reprints so that I do not bid on it. It's an estate auction full of antiques and this one off sports item.

The Clemente and Williams in the other corner look like reprints to me...I'd like a picture of that corner. I'm thinking they are all reprints.

The blurry pics made it hard to tell until I got to the Gehrig. Real cards are much sharper.

They all pretty much seem to show the same level of aging, which immediately seems suspect to my eyes.

Similar thought struck me. They all have a nearly identical mottled look. My guess is that they're all printed on similar paper which has resulted in that look.

And why would a Clemente card look that lousy?

All look like poor fakes to me. Have the exact type of look the bulk of the modern fakes have.

It's framed nice, but it looks like a bunch of fakes in a fancy frame. My local auction house for a time had fake autos as well....made up to look real.....hoping to dupe someone locally without much sense into paying big bucks......If you like the display piece, the frame is cool, but don't go more than $30-$40 on it.....interested to know how high it goes.

They are obvious reprints.

Cards of big name players from famous sets in a frame where you can't look at them up close or touch them. Does this sound too good to be true?

Thanks everyone. Pretty much what I figured but wanted some experts to take a look.



$120 on 22 bids with a little less than two days until close.

I'd let it slide. No way are those cards real.

yuck

Now I'm just intrigued to see how high it goes. $130 currently.

Perfect centering
 

Looks like perfect centering on every major/high-end card (or pretty close) so that's a tip off. Also, the 41 PB looks mighty trimmed, or is it just matted?

To be frank, I was sort of thrown off by the W516 Grover Alexander. I didn't realize that this card was reprinted.

That was the only reason that I even looked twice at this item. Maybe that card is legit and the others are reprints. I doubt there is a lot of demand for a reprint of that card. But who knows, people will fake anything.

Strip cards are the easiest to counterfeit halfway decently
