Unless, of course, you simply put it in a slab - then it becomes real...like Pinocchio.
Of course, if the Cincinnati twins got hold of a close reprint like this, it would become a million-dollar 'variation'.

Aloha Scott, I'm not sure I understand. Why couldn't each "dot" and "pattern of dots" be reproduced exactly? Why would one need the original "art"? couldn't an original card suffice? I'm talking, (hypothetically of course) of duplicating them on a microscopic level for each and every card in the set. Dave. ps money no object.
