Had dinner with my parents tonight and talked to my dad about it. I didn't tell him it was fake. He said he was away at a conference for work and saw it in an antique shop, so he decided to buy it for me for Christmas. Said he only paid around $50 for it, so I don't feel too bad. That should have been a red flag, but he doesn't really know about thus stuff, even though he is the one that got me into collecting as a kid in the 80s/90s. He and my mom do buy me stuff from time to time from antique stores when they see it, but it is usually old programs, pins or something along those lines.

It's a common photo. Maybe buy an authentic one and have it framed up. This was you know it's real and your father will most likely not know the difference. That way you can proudly display it and your father will be proud as well.

One more time. Tell your dad the truth and get his money back. Then you can replace it with a real item. I am sure your dad would wont his money back and to make sure you have an authentic piece to show and remember him by.

Going to see my dad again on New Years Day, see if I can get more info out of him. Like I stated before, he said he bought it at an antique shop when he was away on business, so knowing my father, he probably doesn't have the receipt for the purchase anymore, or even know the name of the shop.

my first rule in this hobby: never let a family member buy something themselves. this hobby is filled with DIRTY and DESPICABLE felons...never never expose your loved ones to these scums. they try at every turn to rip off the hardened long-time collectors, imagine how excited they'd be with fresh chum. this rule goes for both cards and autographs...ymmv.
