Fake Chuck Klein?
 

Posted By: <b>William Cohon</b><p>My friend just came back from Portland, where he bought a '39 Play Ball Chuck Klein. Here in Seattle, we were having a coffee, looking at our new old cards, and we noticed that his Klein doesn't match any of our other '39 Play Ball cards, even my Klein. On the back of his, none of the text is italicized, making it a mismatch with the other cards.<br /><br />Think it's phony?

Posted By: <b>William Cohon</b><p>Hey, thanks for the quick response. It seems a modicum of research (prior to posting my question) was in order.
