That is a poor fake regardless of what the guy says. And actually PSA is correct from what I have heard before. There supposedly was(is) a printing machine (whatever it was) that was found and found to be printing old Fro Joy cards, on the same cardboard and ink, in more recent times. I have heard this more than a few times though I don't have first hand information. We have some really good threads on the board, and in the archive section, concerning Babe Ruth Candy Company cards, which are fairly similar to Fro-Joys. To this day there are some of the Fro Joys that the best experts in the country are not 100% on. In other words they aren't sure one way of the other. I think ALL grading companies should grade the ones they ARE 100% sure are legitimate. I have handled a hundred or more and only 1-2 was I unsure of.
