It is possible potentially that these photos had extras and were given out to teammates. On the other hand, they could be fake. With the pics provided and not having it in hand...makes it a little hard to tell.


Here's the Wally Schang

The main difference I see with the Wally Schang that was auctioned, and the other cards on Facebook, is there is a white border around the photo. I guess the ones on Facebook could be trimmed.
