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.

Cory, it will be interesting to see if the OP contacts you and takes you up on your offer.

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.

This entire thread reads like a real life example of the Fairy tale " The Kings New Clothes " lots of ohhs and ahhhs and dose the mark in back hurt the value. Until the word Reprint shows up....then it's he's a clown Bigfoot of course he knew.
This hobby suffers enough from fraud. How this was not shot down instantly on THIS BOARD..I cannot understand. How would you feel if some local shop owner was shown some of the early posts and bought them?
The Hobby is supposed to be fun and getting clipped is the exact opposite of fun. At least it is here on exit 132 on the NJ parkway.

These were blurry online photos posted by some anonymous new member. Having an item in hand is much different.

If someone has a hobby shop, they should either have the skill/experience to authenticate an incoming item or refrain from buying it.

As for not shooting this down right away, perhaps we're trying to not be the high-horse riding butt-hurt snowflakes Bigfoot accused us of being.

asoriano · #10 02-03-2025, 05:54 PM

Am I the only one who thinks they might be real? If not, they're decent fakes.

Are you saying that you could not identify the cards as reprints from the original photos? Then why offer any opinion? Unless as I suggested $$

If someone has a hobby shop, they should either have the skill/experience to authenticate an incoming item or
refrain from buying it.

So Not everyone has the ability to identify the reprints but many on this board do and did. But wishy washy statements don't help and could sway someone to buy. I
personally would not be happy if I did that. Some would
say buyer beware. I can see both points.

As for not shooting this down right away, perhaps we're trying to not be the high-horse riding butt-hurt
snowflakes Bigfoot accused us of being.

As for your last point simply refraining from high- horse riding butt hurt snowflake comments should eliminate the issue..not that I have seen you make any..

Hope this helps

Shocked at how many replies before the kraken was unleashed. lol

zero percent chance in any city these are real.

PhillyFan1883 · #14 02-03-2025, 09:48 PM

I will take them for $1 each just to own a piece of net54 history.. I may even pick up shipping cost. God forbid if they were stolen in transit to a grading company with insured shipping or even worse a buyer.. how could they live with themselves for not meeting up in -City-
