YES I KNOW THIS IS A TERRIBLE SCAN, but it's what I've got to work with! I emailed the person and asked for better ones!
What do I need to look for to tell the difference between a real and a fake?
If it is AN OPC Rookie I would say fake as it is to well centered.
Looks like a duck.......
Missing a couple key items on the front. Got a scan of the back?
Dust speck on shoulder and roller mark down right side....
Those edges look too crisp. What does the back look like?
Google it - there's a couple of really good tutorials out there that I used to verify mine.. although I ultimately just sent it to BGS - that's the only real way, IMO; get it graded
