Does Net54 have a forum for fakes currently being sold on ebay?
I'd love to ask questions about a card's authenticity from time to time,
and also learn how to detect fakes online.

I'm just beginning to learn the ropes on Net54. I hope, for instance, by this reply I'll be able to archive your lesson on Goudeys.

I'd like a similar lesson in Tobacco cards, particularly T-206's.
Any guidance/references would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

Doug

Doug- After 3 yrs on the board you are just learning the ropes? . No worries though...after 16 yrs in the hobby, in an addicted fashion, I am still learning and feel like a novice many times. As to your question, the best place to ask questions about fakes and/or reprints, on ebay and otherwise, is this main board. More people view it, and you will get more responses, than anywhere else. We won't have separate sections for this kind of stuff but we do have a "Detecting Card Alterations and Reprints" section. It has been on the board for years and has tons of informative information in it. It is under the 2nd from the right icon, at the top row of icons on each page. best regards

Just a heads up that this is an old thread.

Oh Crap!! My apologies to Doug. It is an old thread. Fooled again. But maybe someone new will see the post and there can be some lemonade.

Hey, Leon--
Just got around to reading this--
Ha-ha! Same thing has happened to me on an old thread before.
In fact, I started reading this thread and was surprised to see my own post--didn't realize it was old till then--
It was a good review on fake Goudeys in any event,
and the first time I'd heard sarcasm from you directed at me [you're usually so patient and gentle with newbies and dinosaurs],
and then a personal apology to boot! Love it.

Thanks, Net54.

Doug
