dan mckeeI am guessing the back of it is a real skinned Piedmont, hence the paper testing pass. If they test the front, they will find the date to be at least before 2007 instead of 1921. This card is a blatant fake. Here is Bob's reply to me:
"Thank you for writing. (1) I am an appraiser, not an authenticator as I stated in the description. (2) I am not a grader. (3) To prove the age of the card, the owners had it scientifically tested. All the tests indicate that the card is old and was made earlier than 1921. Copies of this documentation are on our website in PDF files. (4) If you have a question about their test results, I suggest you contact the companies that issued the reports. Again, thank you for your concern and taking the time to write to me. Bob
How an auction house can offer something at this price and not protect the buyer is beyond me.
