Default 1917 Ruth Update

<< One is to hold the card up to the light to see if you can see the printing on the other side of the card.

The other is to examine the printing on the front of the card. If the ink is separated into dots, it is counterfeit.>>

Both of these are wrong and silly. For example, if you hold a genuine T206 to bright lamp you can see the printing on the other side. And if you examine a Sporting News Babe Ruth there is a dot pattern.

This is doubly silly, because if he closely examined the card he would see a dot pattern that, according to his own stated rules, would say the card is fake.
