Fake & Repro Gene Autry & Roy Rogers Items

A visual guide to identifying
fake, fantasy, & reproduction
"vintage" collectors items on
eBay, Yahoo & other venues

Roy Rogers & Gene Autry badges, pinbacks, coins, postcards, etc. I know there are many more fakes out there than these shown. We also need your help in this category regarding sizes of the repros & the authentic versions (if one exists). And we can always use sharp closeup JPGs of both fake & authentic versions. Email me at .
