All I Needed To Know
"For some time now, I have been producing custom baseball cards that transport the collector back in time with fresh colors, textures, styles and the magic of collecting. I have sold a few cards to various collectors over the years, but decided it was time to combine my passion for Americana, Sport and vintage collectibles. The cards, themselves are mounted to substrates as old as 100 years!!! This means that the cardboard stock is actually vintage!!
The inks are archival, however, and brand stinking new. We don't want them to fade, etc." These could be the first knock off cards that combine the desirable qualities of vintage card stock with new stinking ink. I don't want to "out" the seller, but if you haven't seen where this description comes from, here is a link to his version of T206 (and there are others) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Banty-Red-T2...gAAOSwal5YM7WE Who knew Walsh had 6 saves in 1908. I'm sure he didn't.

Not for me, but I think they are pretty cool looking nonetheless.

I'll say two things. He sure has good taste in selecting a beautiful portrait of Big Ed.
I strongly agree with Peter about the matter that if the fantasy card clearly has a notation on the backside of the year of its issuance, that's a good thing. You can only do so much to keep the naivety, and stupidity, in check from the guy thinking only that he's found a previously unknown rarity of a big-name player worth a brand new car or home. |

Old printing presses can be found, and if you find old ink, and have old paper, what is preventing you from making some serious fake cards that are not distinguishable from originals?

Absolutely nothing, I know a guy that did it about 27 years ago.

I have the same problem with these as I do with all these fantasy card producers.
No matter what they say, not putting a production date and artificially aging is made to deceive. Sadly there are many modern card shops that sell 99% shiny stuff and Pokemon cards that are the status quo. These shop owners know nothing of vintage and many couldn't tell one of these from a T-206. It's sad but true. As long as they have a production date, I have no issue at all and you are free to call it an "art card" or whatever the heck you want.

strange the use a fantasy "tobacco and ale" Company to promote the fantasy cards. Borderline deceptive in my opinion
