Question regarding Neilson's Chocolates Issues
 

Posted By: <b>Craig W</b><p>I'm only slightly familiar with the 1922 Neilson's Chocolates V61 Type 1 and Type 2. I believe they should look something like this:<br /><br /><img src="http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll71/craigw67217/1922NeilsonsV61-2Aldridge.jpg"><br /><br />But today I came across this, a 1923 Neilson's that uses the same image as the V61 but a different border:<br /><br /><img src="http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll71/craigw67217/1923NeilsonsAldridge.jpg"><br /><br />Is this for real or did PSA make a booboo?<br /><br />Thanks<br />Craig

Posted By: <b>Craig W</b><p>Thanks Leon, I agree. I just did a search on Aldridge and he can be found in the 1923 W572 strip cards.

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>Actually, the the W572 Aldridge above probably has a stamp on back with an ad for Neilson's Chocolate on it. The theory is that these were modern fabrications by a collector in an attempt to defraud people. That is what I understood when the cards first appeared, not sure if that is still the prevailing theory but that is my understanding. <br />-Rhett<br /><br />Edited to add: The cards are legit W572's, it is the stamps that were meant to deceive.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Ive owned about 4-5 of the W572 Neilsons over the years, all were (mis)graded by PSA and 1st showed up around 2000, at least thats when I first heard about them. They have been listed (w/story, no values) in the SCD Guide for many years now. Im not sure exactly how they figured out the print on back is not vintage, but its been known for some time now.<br /><br />For what its worth, they are rare <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Frank
