Eric great posts and descriptions. The only thing I can add is Eric's description only shows how to spot a really bad home printer fake made by someone that has no idea how to counterfeit cards or run a printer. Luckily that is all most scammers are smart enough to do.

Net54 member Robert(Bob) Lemke put out a book called Sportscard Counterfeit Detector back around 1993. It only shows specific cards but if you read the entire book it has some high end counterfeit cards that have been rescreened using a real printing press. These cards are next to impossible to detect unless you really know what to look for. The book can be picked up on eBay for a few dollars and are well worth the money.
