Interesting view re the desirability of the card from an investment standpoint, Leon.
The collective expertise of the people here who actually saw the card raw at the National is something I would trust infinitely more than any opinion from a scan. I don't care if every member here who hasn't actually seen the card thinks it is fake, they don't have the foundation to make that claim. To paraphrase John Nance Garner, an authenticity opinion from a scan is not worth a bucket of warm piss.
If the thing is a fake then it has fooled some of the most experienced collectors around and it is time to sell off all of my cards and do something else for fun because the world just became truly scary. I think it far more likely that a sheet got run with some blue ink in the tray.
