Skinning...

Hey John, I guess I have missed some advances in the card counterfeiting industry. How exactly is "skinning" accomplished? Is there a high-tech device that can precisely remove the front half of a...

Puzzling

You're right, it does sort of look like that, but my question is, why would someone go to that much trouble - time, labor, etc. - for this card? What would be the point? To create an "error...

Images can be deceiving

Jake: Are both of those cards in your hand? If you have a loupe or other strong magnifying optical device, you should be able to see the difference under magnification. On the other hand, if one or...

Right, Dave - I too was somewhat surprised by the low ball bids on those three cards last year. I think perhaps it was due to the relative unpopularity of the Topps 1951 card sets, not only with...

1951 Topps MLAS Big Three Blank Backs

Well, for those Topps completists who missed out on last year's auction of the ultra rare 1951 Topps MLAS Big Three, Heritage now has the same three cards up for bids, but with blank backs. Current...

Heady stuff...

Thanks for pointing this out. Even as a kid, I preferred Bowman cards to Topps. Wasn't sure why, but maybe being seven to eleven years old from 1951 to 1955 was a period when I wasn't aware of how...

Mystery solved...?

You know, I think I have figured out what was going on with Maris' jersey. If you look at photos from 1968, you see that the Cardinals Bat logo was positioned just below the second button from the...

HmmmX2....

Ok, but why would someone in the Topps photo department take it upon themself to airbrush out the Cardinals logo? Maris was in '68 a Cardinals player, so what would be the motive for doing that? Or,...

Hall of Infamy...?

I can't see putting someone in for one year no matter how remarkable.

Maybe it's "apples to oranges," but Ed Barrow was elected to the HOF for having one great season - 1919, when he sold Ruth to...

Hmm...

Are you maybe referring to Roger's head appearing to be oversized in the photo compared to the body? That is simply an illusion created by the perspective in the photo of the card, which was taken...

Investment can mean both

Well, I still have the '53 Topps Mantle in my collection. In 1985, I couldn't have bought up dozens of vintage cards as an investment anyway, as I was barely clinging to my job and my marriage was...

Sorry, man...

Thanks for the opportunity to rub salt in the wound. I attended one of the Strongsville, Ohio shows back in 1984, and on my way out, after finding very little to add to my sparse collection, I passed...

Right, that is the method I used a few years ago after reading about it here. I carefully placed the pliers on one corner of the slab and pressed, but quickly realized that the plastic just was not...

I'm wondering what you guys who liberate all of your cards from slabs are using these days to safely do that. A while ago, I think some were employing bolt cutters and other crude implements. Since...

Travis, if I understand your question correctly, my answer is no, the card image should not be "tilted" along any edge. What you have there appears to me to be a card that has been trimmed at a...

The number of horizontal cards differed greatly on all seven printing sheets. The second series of 36 had the most, third series had just one, etc.. Seems to me that the choice of horizontal format...

1952 Bowman

Under-appreciated set that was the first I collected as a kid in 1952. Always recalled the Joe Adcock card because I was puzzled by the letters on the sign, since at the age of eight, I knew nothing...

Good for removing noggins, cards not so much

The kinds of guillotine cutters generally available to consumers are not much good for large scale jobs. After printing up a few sheets of replicards, my cutter did a reasonable job on the first few,...

1950's pasteboard

Yeah, what some are seeing as "gloss," I think, is just the white inner part of the cardstock after the surface - both back and front - has been worn away. I don't see anything else on the reverse...

Yikes, that card has been through the mill, and looks like a very real mill. I can't imagine how a fake card could get that beat up without showing signs of intentional wear and tear. Why worry about...

So, I guess you're saying, Dave, that there's no chance the hidden card could be a Ted Williams or Stan Musial? Dang...;)

Seems like if you can identify Irvin through the wrapper, you should be able to see the other card as well - no?;)

John: Since I don't own a loupe, would a zoomed screen grab do the same as that jewelers tool? Does this image display what you mean, or no? Thanks.
