T5 Pinkerton On A Paper Mount? AUT?

You may be right about the photo as I cant tell for sure from the scan. It would seem odd that PSA would not be able to identify a T5 photograph. It is possible though.

After collecting and searching for T5's over a long period of time I have seen many thinner and odd looking mounts at shows, in auctions or ebay . The Standard Catalogue's description seemed to explain it. I wouldn't know if the odd mounts were distributed the same way or at the same time as the heavy cardboard ones which are more valuable.

If you can't tell that isn't a real photo from the large scan Kevin posted then there is no use in this conversation. Helen Keller could see it isn't a real photo. And as previously said, the paper mounts could be legit but, from everything I have read, that is a pretty big leap of faith and not a fact.

I accept your point of view that the Standard Catalogue and Lipset used anecdotal evidence regarding the mounts, and that by looking at a scan on the internet you are can determine authenticity better then PSA . I also agree there is no reason to continue this conversation
