I was going through my grandfather's old album and came across
these Spanish ones.

Now he knew they weren't genuine and notated beside them the word fakes.

What I would to know is what are they. Fakes? Forgeries? Reprints ?

Perhaps someone here could post genuine copies for comparison.

They certainly dont look quite right. The #1 looks best of all. When I get home I will look at my #1 and compare (sad to say I do not have 2-5 . . . yet).

Those are all forgeries attributed to, I believe, Miguel Segui.

That link is actually a website I was working on a long time ago. Didn't realize it was still in existence. I don't think I have a Tripod account any more.

The bottom one looks like Will Ferrell in drag.
