If it helps the effort, I cobbled together four different graded versions from eBay for comparison purposes...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

That actually does help. Thank you! I didn't think '49 Bowman had the dot printing, but I can see that your examples have the dot printing as well. That makes me feel better.

There's one for sale at at local show. The dealer wants $500. In the condition that it's in, I still think it's a $1500-$2000 card. I have the dealers info, so if it does end up being a fake I can go back to him.

Others commented on the back looking artificially agaed. I noticed that too, but I think something may have happened to the back to make it appear like that. It's not like that on the front.

I found some other '49 Bowman here to compare it to and it feels like the other '49 Bowmans. We'll see.

I was going to be the contrarian who said he liked it. At $500 it's a good thing I don't know where it is, or you'd never get it

Hard for me to tell from the front, but the back looks bad. My vote is fake.

I don’t know how to explain it, but certain cards just don’t look right to me. I can’t pinpoint anything specific, but this is one of those cards that doesn’t look right. Without seeing it in hand I’d stay away from this one

So this dealer. Is he selling all his cards for 1/3 of market prices?

I thin k it is real as registration is off a little on the front. Why would you reprint it that way?

Yeah, it will be going to PSA soon. I'm pretty sure it's real at this point, but it just makes more sense to grade it anyway to increase the resell value and give buyers a peace of mind.

i guess we can put this thread to rest for 10 - 12 months. It's a long road to PSA and back.

If the card you scan as your source material is out of register that isn't usually corrected, as the fakers are mostly lazy.

I sent my 50 Bowman Jackie to PSA to get slab even if altered (a legit seller had in a lucite for decades) and they screwed it up. So it hung out in CA for months for nothing....At least they didn't charge me. But now I will send it to SGC, so I'll get it back quickly. So take care in filling out PSA's form...
