I am posting this for the seller, I am in friendly communication with him. Please give me your thoughts on authenticity. He stated he had the paper tested and it is from the 1920s. Dan. |

Dan..I have a set that I bought about 15 years ago that looks like this. The cards have the same dotted lines around the borders. It's been a couple of years sine I tried last but I have sent the cards to both PSA and SGC but could not get them graded. |

Hi Alan, they won't grade any fro joys now. If you write me directly, I can discuss yours with you. Dan r337man@yahoo.com |

It's a fake. I own both real & fake Ruth Fro Joy portrait cards, & there is not nearly enough clarity for the card in question. |

A black light is useful for identifying these types of reprints. The Fro Joy reprints I recently looked at fluoresced brightly under a black light. |

I'm not sure what type of "ink and paper tests" the seller is talking about. However, if he is talking about the standard tets done in a forensic labratory, the lab cost would have been more than his BIN. Further, you have to physically remove portions of the ink and paper from the card to perform the tests. |

The age of the printing is what is most important. Paper products from that era are relatively cheap and someone could easily apply printing to blank paper to counterfeit cards and claim the paper is from the era. |
