but I think my cert is on a thinner kind of linen paper as well. Again, just an observation, but it looks like under the '18' on your cert may have been erased and then the '18' added. In your scan, it is visibly lighter than the surrounding area. To me, it's conceivable that there may be a 'real' certificate like these out there, just don't think it's the ones pictured. There is a card store around town that has one in a frame and if I have time, I'll ask him for a closer look. I'm wondering if it was some type of stadium promo from the 1930's-1950's. Just a hunch..........

Scott Gaynor can may be able to elaborate but Leland's sold a similar one to the green ones (which I believe to be souveneir as well) in an auction sometime in the last 3-4 years. It sold in the $500 range if my memory serves me correct.
