Maybe the statement was issued by a group of Cubans living in Alaska, Joe. |

Most of us get it but had you put "...." around the statement it would have been absolutely clear from where it originated. |

Maybe it's a connection to Global warming, and cardboard Meltdown? |

Count me suspicious about the T215 Pirates unless some legit provenance pops up. I don't care what SGC says, unless these came from some unknown overseas horde, I would stay away from this if I had that kind of $$$ (which I probably never will). By the way, why the heck are they called T215's anyway? Isn't that Red Crosses designation? |

How many total of these Pirate backs are there in circulation, aka what's the pop report on these cards? |

And I would go as far as saying, that if you thought about it ... you would also be able to tell us the reason why. |

Although the information is still pretty sparse on the Live Auction, Mastro does have a "live preview" link up on their website with some of the items that will be available. |

There are only 3 on PSA's pop. report. Aside from this new horde, I don't think SGC ever graded any. |

So now we're suspicious about SGC's ability to spot a hand-cut card? Don't you guys think that SGC was especially careful with this group of cards considering their significance to the hobby? |

Leon, you couldn't have read it in a newspaper. You just think you read it. I don't see a copy of the newspaper article. I think it's imaginary. Did you actually read it or did you dream you read it? You'll need to post it here. With the date showing. And a picture of you holding a sheet of paper saying "I'm Leon and I pee in my back yard when I'm not lighting myself on fire in my front yard" next to it. |

I wonder if Pirates should even have an ACC designation since they was produced by an English tobacco company. None of that issuer's boxing cards has an ACC designation. I know the images are the same as Red Cross and they may have been distributed to U.S. military persons oversees, but these were not sold in the U.S. or issued by a U.S. company. |

I am sure you are saying the FBI think as tongue in cheek? It's hard to tell behind a keyboard, sometimes. I was joking of course. As for these being factory cut....I trust SGC..... |

They were sent to SGC and graded because they were deemed factory cut under the standards explained in their very enlightening articles on how to detect trimmed T205 and T206 cards. It's not that they deemed them factory cut because they wrote an article saying they were factory cut, as your post suggests. |

The auction houses often publicize the origins of a rare item. Has Mastro done so here? I would be interested to know how one collector long ago was able to essentially monopolize this set. He had more than 90 and no one else had more than one. |

Didn't one collector monopolize the Alpha Engraving set? And the Allegheny set? Tough to do, but it certainly seems possible. |

Has anybody else noticed the tendancy on this board for people to bash the cards they don't have from the Gretzky Wagner to the T206 Cobb/Cobb back, T206 Doyle, virtually all high grade vintage cards, and now these Pirates? Maybe a little honest self-reflection is in order. |

Jim- in all fairness, since I was the one who started the thread that questioned whether the Cobb with Cobb back was truly a T206, were we bashing it or simply saying there is a reasonable chance that it has been improperly attributed? It seemed like an intelligent discussion with no bashing at all. |
