Default 1953 Willie Mays - How to identify Fake?????

So if anybody could give me some clues on how to identify fake characteristics of a 1953 Willie Mays that'd be awesome. I know it's a common fake card produced so o just wanted to know what to look for.

Thank you

Also the Backside has a "M K" carved by the sides of the card number

This card looks fine. Always check with a loupe to make sure the solid parts should be solid and the dot matrix should be dots. For instance, the black around the "Mays" should be COMPLETELY black type letters etc

Hope this helps...

Edit to put an emphasis on "looks", there's truly no way to tell without having something in hand but what you need to look for is relatively simple...

And if this is coming from the same place as that Mantle don't even bother (even if this is good) just lose the guys number because it seems someone is intentionally trying to deceive if that is the case...

The fact that it is off center makes it a little difficult to tell, but there is a possibility it is either trimmed or miscut on the left side. The edge looks a little uneven.
