P.S.--That is a very nice Henderson card shown up above, for sure. I actually have that one myself. I also would prefer cards in a raw form, but, unfortunately there are so many counterfeits out there now, I have trouble distinguishing between what's real and what's not. That's the only reason I'm considering graded cards.

Grading
I have been collecting for a long time. I have little confidence in minion graders who likely know much less about the cards I collect than I do, and I have seen many bad or misidentified cards in slabs. Plus there now seems to be a growing industry in faked or forged slabs that may exceed the Christmas rack pack production for all I know
I get why if you are a seller, or a buyer and seller you need to deal with graded cards in today's market. It is just a necessary evil I am glad not to have to deal with in my own collecting. But, if you enjoy what you collect and how you collect, it matters little what I or anyone else thinks |

The 52T Mantle that was pulled from Goodwin was in a new case. But that said, the odds anyone is going to go to great lengths to pull of a scam on a Henderson rookie are about nil I would think.

Fakes
You may be correct Peter, but between 1984 and 1991 Topps issued 12 card boxed mini sets of metal cards for dealer premiums. The cards in most years came in aluminum, bronze and silver. I have not followed them recently but in the past only the silvers sold for much. Most years had one of the players also issued in pewter as well. Again, not much of a premium. But someone was forging all the cards in pewter and selling them on eBay. Why, I have no idea.
I would not be at at all surprised if Henderson rookie fakes exist. Someone has definitely created a lot of fake 1991 Desert Shield cards, even though the commons don't carry a huge premium |
