No doubt I have said this before in one of the various other threads that always seems to pop up about the Holiday Racks -
But I have the impression this was something that was maybe tinged with legitimacy back in the day, maybe the 1980's - where someone found where this had really been done and there were a smattering of such creations actually from the 1950's or early 60's... But since they proved so easy to duplicate, the scammer train ran rampant, and now today these are all generally discredited because there is just so much fake / bad product out there, which now dwarfs the numbers of anything legitimate which may have existed once upon a time. And if that is true, I find the whole story just sad. PS - the worst of these I've seen was a Youtuber who had what he swears is a "legit" one (from his source that sold the "only" legit ones...) that had a '56 Mantle showing. To be honest if anything was legit, it could have been this one, but I don't know - and it's of course impossible to tell just watching a video. (He didn't open it...) I later saw him trying to sell it, ostensibly just trying to recoup what he was out. I never found out how that story ended.
