So the owner of the “card” allows the paper analysis company to remove a portion of the back of the card for testing, a rather large chunk of cardboard to prove it’s genuine from the era (early ‘20’s). Now who in their right mind would agree to that? We all know what paper loss, even on the back the size of a tack head as I saw in the video, does to the final grade. You have just rendered what may have been a 6 or 7 (if it was genuine....LOL) to a 2 tops due to the paper loss. I’m sorry, but if I have a rarity like this supposedly is, no way in hell anyone is removing a portion of my card to test the paper. Even if it is authentic, the last thing I’d do is allow paper to be removed so it could drop in grade by 5 or 6 full points. Why not just send it in to a TPG who can authentic without damaging it? This guy is a clown, and somehow convinced the media to drink his Koolaid!

Jason, I said all that in my second message to the writer and also pointed out that it was a complete waste of time as no collector, dealer or auction house cares about the results of that test. So he seriously damaged the card for absolutely no reason. Only two people would do that. One who knows he has a counterfeit on old paper, or a complete idiot. Can't make up my mind which we have in this instance.

Scott, I respectfully disagree. I think he knows it's counterfeit as well as being a maroon. It isn't one or the other it's both.

Well I wasn't sure he was smart enough for the "on old paper" part. Maybe I underestimate him?

Exactly what I was thinking. And why I felt compelled to share this gem of an update! Also, once again, makes you wonder why a collector, with "200 million cards" some graded by TPGs, would drive to an antique dealer in Beverly Hills for authentication when he could have kept driving for another hour and a half or so straight to PSA.
