Dan was joking I'm sure. Next time insert a smiley Dan not everyone here knows you’re a sarcastic mean ol’ drunk of a collector. (See you can say anything with a smiley behind it)



As for the card your Dahlen I see no real issues or red lights. The area like Dan said doesn't seem to be affected you can still see the faint area of the "B" in most of these there is always a faint trace but some have none. In summary I think the Dahlen is fine at a glance and the seller is a top notch guy that I would vouch for any day.

As for the masterminds and forgeries I think folks like Iggy watch too much CSI and Oceans Eleven and end up giving these guys way too much credit or talking a bit to SciFi in theory. The facts are Chan was nothing more than d-bag in a his little house who ordered a rubber stamp from stamps.com and took advantage of something so simple….collector passion. Every collector suffers from this they want something rare for a deal and when it’s found or in hand they want to believe and logic goes out the window. What was brilliant about Chan and most of these fakes are not the complexity of the forgeries but the simplicity and the fact that it is so easily missed in hobby filled with skeptics.

In the end Chan had about as much in the way of master forger skills as my next door neighbor’s kid. She also plays with stamps just from her would have had to believe the Dora overprint T206. Heck even all the stuff Kevin S use to show on here was very Showtime at the Apollo IMO.

As for the re-back guys like Moser once again most of those are easy to spot however if they have made it into graded cases well now that makes it harder. If it were me and I was looking at a super tough back star card or impossible combo in a holder I would ask to crack inspect and then re-holder at the grading company prior to me putting out cash.

Cheers,
