Mike, I appreciate all the work you've done on these cards. I would love to find out that they're real. If they're originating from Cuba, then that probably does a lot to explain why someone would go to a lot of trouble, tho. I've travelled there and I can tell you, a few dollars goes a long way. Couple that with the impossibility of ever prosecuting or seeking redress because of the political difficulties and you can start to see the motivation of a potential forger. Which isn't to say that they are forgeries, only that the money involved isn't insignificant to the forger and there's no risk of jail time or a civil suit. In my dreams, they're real and I pick up a Buck Leonard and Cool Papa Bell for a 20 dollar BIN.
