A+ to legendary for being upfront with full disclosure of all the restorations dating back to the 80's...even tho doug wasn't sure of the card's would be grade a month ago.

where can i read the description in case it made into a 1 holder?

Jeff,
I was going to say the same thing! Why would you do that to one of the grails of the hobby. I believe the card would have done much better without all that work. But I guess the same question could be asked about the Plank! But I guess we can save that story for another day!

Leon,
I read that book also! I believe the next line was "Do on to others but never let it be done to me" A quote from the mastro handbook

If the card came back graded a 2, would we have been given the same details about its past?

I'm just naturally skeptical.

Hi Al- hopefully you're correct. I agree they probably would have, but this is a funny hobby. Anything goes.

Sorry Blair, but I doubt that Legendary doesn't have (or believe they have) the in house expertise to tell if it was a fake or not. If they thought there was a chance it was a fake they wouldn't have put it in their press release.

If it came back in a 2 holder they might very well have disclosed the history of the card. However what is the point of doing the work to get it in a 2 holder if you intend to disclose that it is an AUT?

Barry,
I would have to say yes and the only reason I would say this is because I believe so many people knew about this card that if they tried to pass it off as anything but they would have lost every bit of respectability they have been trying to rebuild.
