JoannI'm not really into going for Fro-Joy's myself, although to me a Babe Ruth card would be the all-time coup of acquiring vintage cards. I'm more wondering based on David's discussion a few posts back about the difficulty of being able to id fakes - that the best way is via direct comparison and that is very difficult because it's so hard to come by a real one to use as a base.
It seems to me that if by being graded this is more likely to be authentic, it would be a pretty reasonable opportunity for someone to pick up their comparison card. But I couldn't figure out if the grading companies had stopped because of the difficulty spotting fakes, or what reason. That's why I was kind of wondering about when it may have been graded, and if that even matters.
