Finding corners that sharp, raw on a t206 is like 1 in 10,000. My opinion at least.

Crazy thing is these cards aren't even the real gem in the safe. How about the actual original contract for hank aaron and his bat contract. Not a copy this is the real thing. I feel like it's the only real one thst exists. Even has the hole where his autograph was was taken yo put on the bat. A letter from babe ruth to his school. Real thing.

I like to give the benefit of the doubt, but these are some pretty wild claims. I think you probably found the contents of somebody who got "Coach's Cornered".

Coaches cornered? I don't understand? I promise i have no reason to make this stuff up. And I know the claims may be wild but I'm 100% not lying or bullshitting at all. Humor me a minute if I were to have found something like I described how would I go about selling it? I'm not a collector f sports stuff of course I would like to get as much as possible but the numbers I see are beyond crazy.

Can you post better pics of the cards? To me, at least from those pics, I’d be extremely skeptical. Coloring on both looks muted, centering is perfect which you rarely see. Couple these with the stamp, the overall condition, and the backstory and there’s a high probability they aren’t legit. That said, no one will be able to give you a definitive answer by looking at just those pictures.

I can think of many thousands of reasons.

The only thing missing from his original post was that his uncle has the cards.

In fairness to the poster - within Oklahoma - Oklahoma City is commonly referred to simply as "The City" since there are really only 2 major cities - and The City is enough specificity to eliminate Tulsa.

I am in Oklahoma (just north of "the City") and have offered to take a look at the t206, where I should have enough knowledge to determine if they are real via - blacklight, loupe, smell and feel.

Can't really help with any of the others, though.

Scott - we should hook up when you are in OKC - I have a ginormous pile of 1932 Bulgaria Sport (No Ruth unfortunately), but multiples of most that you may be interested in.

Something Stinks in Denmark.

Grainy pictures of cards with a bizarre dot matrix code on bottom of the cards?

Even if real (which I am not saying they are based on the terrible images) the little added code would kill the grade so you do NOT have the "nicest" examples of these cards by any stretch of the imagination.

They would likely grade AUTH or perhaps a grade of 1.5 to 2 given the added ink on back.

Personally feel we are looking at fake cards and I suspect the person that started the thread already knows this.
