Anyone Collect 1959 Bazooka Football?

[samosa4u]

I do see some "personally made" 1959 Bazooka football cards on eBay, but these ones use different pictures and different players who were never featured in the original set. I'm not too bothered by this.

Have you ever seen any counterfeits of the originals on eBay? I don't see any up at the moment. If I want to purchase a raw Unitas, for example, are you saying that there is a chance it might not be real? Counterfeiters tend to target cards that have become really popular among collectors, and I hate to say this, but I don't think the 1959 Bazooka football cards have reached this level yet. This could obviously change in the future though.

I could swear I've seen a Brown that looked suspect on ebay but its definitely not there now.

I have seen a Brown that PSA graded despite being cut well inside the cut lines.

Yes. PSA has been horrible at grading these cards consistently through the years. Much like they have been with other hand cut cards.

But that's an entirely different issue than whether there are fakes/reprints of these cards out there.

Kind of like your issue with Beckett but you are still drinking PSA Kool-Aid (which is fine by me but seems a bit hypocritical).
