Jason I think you are on to something here.
Why would someone want to fake Wenceslao
Gonzales. Its not like they faking Babe Ruth.
Most of the cards found are some sort of tribute
to cuban players that played in Mexico Wesceslao played from 1951 thru 1969.
I think its a really neat and obsure card.

"Why would they fake these" is not a valid argument that they aren't fake.

There are thousands of items on ebay for less than a dollar,

So one could say "why would somebody spend the time needed to post an item and ship an item for less than a $1 profit?"

The answer is I don't know, but thousands still do it.

The reason that somebody would fake a Wenesloa Gonzales card, is because they figure somebody else might find their faked card "really neat" and would maybe give them money for it.

None of my business, but may I ask what you paid for it?

I have paid money for fantasy pieces, nothing wrong with that. Things are worth whatever people are willing to pay for them, whether 'fantasy' or 'real'.
