1990's Ebay Printing Plates (Real of Fake???)

EmmittSmurf · 10-29-2016, 12:12 AM

So, in the past many 1990's plates have been proven or at least shown with great evidence of being faked. Most of the time you can see the foil that was printed on the card that should have been overlaid in a separate process than printing etc, and most are the same shade of color with a slightly different shadow focus.

However these new ones hit ebay recently (mind you from the same seller that sells thousands of the "considered to be faked" plates. so that sets off the first red flag.
However these do have totally different colors and transitions for each color are sharp and don't have the rounded corners like many of the old ones. Each color also is more focused in its own areas.

Are they just getting more advanced or better at faking them for profit or do people believe these are more of the real deal?

Note: they have multiple players with the same set and all 4 front and all 4 back in one lot of each player. (they made roughly 3100 sets and 2000 sets of 2 variations of this card, were these the only plates used to make over 5100 cards? Thanks for everyone opinions.
