What if you had a time machine?? Would you go back and visit the factories in search of the rarest T206's and put together a few high grades master sets?? Maybe talk the printer into making a few errors that are 1/1's?

I have found my mind wandering lately about all the crap going on in the hobby. Counterfiet autos, trimmed and altered cards being passed off as good, even over grading of cards that inflate the values accross the board and are not worth it. Is the hobby reaching a peak and is it going to tumble like our economy did?? Probably not but it is a legitamite question.

Also after hearing about the A$$ who faked the Old Mills and a few others altering cards that have passed grading standards I have thought of a great question to ask. And this is just for fun!!!!!

If you were able to obtain a few printing stones(plates) from back in 1909 from what ever tobacco company, the stock, appropriate ink circa 1909, and accurate instructions(something I would need) would you make a card???

Commons or HOF'ers. Errors or the Big ones??

Now after all of that here is the greatest question. Is it a fake card? Would you consider it a counterfiet or authentic?

I will be the first to weigh in and say no it is not 100 yrs old but it is an original T206(only on technicality) made the same way as the others but in a different era. I would make a few of the portraits like Chase(BLUE), or the guy with the Flock of Seagulls Hair(cracks me up every time I see that card), or a few others. I could not see me making any big ones out of respect oddly enough. I know I have a consience

ANYWAY THIS IS JUST FOR FUN SO NO NEED TO GET PISSED AND TWISTED LIKE SOME DO OVER NOTHING. I THINK IT COULD BE NEAT TO SEE HOW PEOPLE WEIGH THIER THOUGHTS IF GIVEN A CHANCE TO MAKE THIER T206's
