I made an earlier list of problems, but one that is straightforeward is that it would have been practically impossible for an 1880s photographer to make a tintype that includes Old Judge style writing in the image. The primitive tintype process made this impossible. I will bet you that most avid non-sport tintype collectors on a 50 dollar a week collecting budget know this. I don't care whether they they work for the FBI or the Louvre, anyone who argues that that type of writing on a tintype is authentic is no expert.
