Just so everyone knows, and I know we have been over these many times, but for the newbies and anyone else that doesn't know, ALL Kendig's Chocolates cards are fake....

Yes Leon I bought a few of these from an antique dealer in the 80's. I brought them to a show and Lew Lipset let me know they were fake. Actually got my money back from the dealer. These have been around a long time.

Hi Leon,
I thought they were fake, but I saw Dan bidding, so I was a little confused. Thanks for posting Brian

They are fake as I am bald . What's sort of interesting is I just had almost the exact same card, with that "Oodles Chocolates" back, and the SAME PLAYER, that came back as counterfeit from SGC. I thought it might have been fake, when I got it in hand after the sale, which is the reason I sent it in to be confirmed. I would swear those are almost identical cards with the same player and different, obscure backs. Almost like someone printed off this player and started stamping away....many years ago...but not 80...more like 20, is my guess....but who knows.... I do know the Kendigs are fake.

I am confident they are fakes. Like Leon, I bought one for fairly cheap earlier this year and took it around. Very fake.

Another Kendig just surfaced on ebay. Maybe someone more "in the know" than I am about this can contact the seller. Link to auction follows. Scot

NOT a good idea to contact seller. Only asking for trouble. Just don't bid and keep the chatter going so all of us can be better informed.
