Babe Ruth Fro-Joy sheet looking for info

[kyser]

I have this Fro-Joy Ice Cream uncut sheet. Checking if any members have seen anything like this. And could a black light or jewelers lupe help date this piece?

Thank you all

Sorry to say, It is very fake, 100%. Seen many like it, way too grainy and wrong stock. Probably made in the 1980s-1990s. Hope this helps.

close to the same stock as this one...

I had one of those too. I kept it as a lesson on how not to gamble on stupid things. Finally threw it away in the last move.

You don't learn by not making mistakes.

Luckily I had less than 30 bucks in it at the time, but in those days 30 bucks would have been nice. Lol.

Sorry Pete, my bad. On real ones, the corners join without issue (at least on the real ones I have seen over 25+ years)

Getting back to one of the original questions - will a black light show this as modern paper or was old paper used for the reprints?

Thanks

I had a fake sheet once that did not fluoresce under black light, not sure if it was old stock or not

Most of the fakes I have used a black light on don't fluoresce. A few have..

Anyone have an authentic example of one of these? There are a ton of fakes and RP on ebay.

Genuine:



I bought a raw set many years ago and had Beckett slab it since PSA refused. I used one of the Gene Tunney cards to compare stock, print, etc.
