Need Help Deciphering if these are real

bjunior · 01-20-2025, 07:54 AM

hi guys, I recently bought these two off of facebook for a combined $50! I was hoping someone in here might be able to help me decipher if they are real. I have a campanella from 1956 and an Aaron from 61 that I compared them to and they look/feel real. But I was curious if you guys could please help me verify.

The first two photos are scans of them, the third being a close-up of the rosette for Clemente, and last being for the Koufax.

Any information or help is very much appreciated! This is my first post. Thanks!

Both look good to me. The wear looks organic, i.e. consistent with cards that were handled often by the original owner and not intentionally worn to replicate aging. Print looks authentic. It's also pretty uncommon to see fakes with centering issues.

I'd say you got a great deal at $50. Congrats!

If you want additional opinions, Net54 would be a great place to ask.
