Modern fakes of vintage (1930s - 1960s) wrappers have been a problem for years/decades, especially on the non-sports side; that's why I have always been particularly hesitant to buy any supposed vintage wrappers.
I even talked to Joe Orlando and, IIRC, Steve Hart at the National in 2013 about the possibility of wrapper grading & slabbing. Both were sceptical.
I just wish someone reputable would grade and slab wrappers, as I believe there is a large market for them, especially as I said, on the non-sports side.
