JoannHEY! There's been a Schwed sighting!! Wow. He must truly be lying. If we accept that the card is skinned and rebacked w/a Piedmont back, then I can understand the paper guy maybe getting fibers from the reverse and concluding the paper was old.
But a powerful microscope? And he could only look at the back? Because he either has no competence to identify modern printing, was not able to see that the methods of printing on the front and back are completely different from one another, or negligently made his eval based on looking at the back only. Which?
Either that, or it's real. KIDDING.
