Default How to Authenticate a Unique Item-the Limits of Scientific Testing

Posted By: Corey R. Shanus

Is that THEORETICALLY possible (assuming the card passes scientific testing), yes? But given its non-1930s-looking appearance (at least so I've been told) and the expressed opinions of hobby experts, do you really want to have $19K riding on that possibility? Often times in the end when all the facts are in it comes down to how much of a leap of faith are you comfortable taking? It seems to me that even if the card does pass testing, unless something akin to the card containing a substance that was commercially available, say, only from 1910-1960 and since then has, as a practical matter, been unavailable, you'd still be taking one heck of a big one.
