leonI am not saying they wouldn't be easy to forge. I guess they would. Eight of mine that I own are pictured in Lipset's encyclopedia which I believe was put out in about 1984 (last edition). Back then I think these went for a premium of about $10 ea., so there was no motive. My 9th one I got from Tom Boblitt and he got it from a guy who had no idea at the National...and my last one came from David B, he got it from a Mastro auction and I don't think it was even mentioned that there was an overprint on it.......this was several years ago and the values weren't what they are today. As we get farther into the hobby I think provenance of cards will play more of a role in determining value. It's safe to say that many collectors will pay a little extra for an item with good provenance. I know I will. take care now....
