This card on ebay is not authentic, as the seller states...(the bottom one IS legit, I don't know the seller, and is shown for comparison)

I agree, how can you tell Leon? I took a double take but I didn't see enough evidence to report this one so I left it up. Dan.

The color is what gives it away...the more brownish/sepia tone National Game cards are the fakes - there are usually a couple up on EBay being sold as real

Greg is correct. Look at the coloring. It's aweful!!! I am only 99.9% sure it's fake so please have at it guys. It will make a good learning lesson for someone *(unfortunately)...I am not positive......Personally I would steer clear though....

I guess we will never know for sure. The listing of the suspected fake was removed.

YOu used to be able to tell by the corner cuts, which coloring? of the photo itself? Dan.
