MorrieI live just outside Cincinnati. Last time this thing came up and had the big article in the paper, I contacted the guy who wrote it and said that if he wanted another opinion, I had a few hundred t206 and knew the characteristics of a real vs. authentic card.
His response was pretty telling. He referred me to the two gentlemen's lawyer, since the lawyer was the official contact for anything related to the card, and indicated that he (the author of the piece) did not want to deal with anything related to the card in the future.
"Talk to the lawyer." That's enough to make me back way, way off.
I won't bother offering an opinion on the card's authenticity (and hey, who am I, anyway?). This is a case where I think the market is saying all it needs to say, and what the market is saying has absolutely nothing to do with the race of anyone involved.
