Opinions please on 6 Ungraded cards

[mrreality68]

appreciated for the input.

I will regroup and get back to the group on what I decided

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a couple of those look to be fake/reprints to me. I hope for your sake I am wrong.

The Anson and Gehrig don't look real at all. Obviously PSA would love a chance to grade them, but if they determine they are fake (like I suspect they are), then you lose your grading fee. And it is NOT cheap those grade those two based on their respective values if they were real.

Loop the Anson and compare the dot pattern on the hands against a authentic card--notice the overall dot patterns on the authentic example--at least may help for a indication to submit to TPG--good luck!

Look at the total absence of color on the Anson. How it appears monotone.

I will check but these were all bought from a sports card/ Memorabilla shop by me and they have been in business for over 20 plus years.
I bought them there myself when I first got the collection bug.

Do you think they will give you your money back if it is determined that those cards are fake?

Not at this point. I bought them about 5 plus years ago. But they have been in business on Long Island for 27 plus years.

Is that paper loss or extra paper on the back of Lou. Hopefully it’s extra paper and the glue can be soaked off.

I think all 6 are real.

I'd bid on Gehrig ungraded, so long as I could have 3 days to inspect and initiate return if needed.

If you send it off to grade you'd be waiting to get it back to sell for quite some time, you'd get more, or if the naysayers are right then you'll pay grading fees up front to find out that it's not real months and months from now. I think the Gehrig is real, but want to actually have it in hand to be satisfied with that.

And I'd like to get that Keeler, too, unless it gets slabbed.

That was my first thought as well - the Anson especially doesn't look good to me
