That astounds me really...don't know how to link the thread/pic of it or I would. The font on it is BLACK, it has artificially rounded corners, the color looks off...and it has a blue old mill back. Now tell me again why you would think it's real??? What I look for on fake t206's...font color/style, unrealistic wear, coloring,...and maybe a back that is known to exist. The Walsh fails all of these tests. I'm not saying it's a terrible fake...but I would say it's a fake on the front alone. 100 times out 100, I'd call it a fake. Then add a blue old mill back??? I need to get into the card printing business...
I think that something so unique requires an extra burden of proof. This card fails a normal test that I do on my $10-$15 t206's. No history behind the card, fails the most basic tests, looks amazingly similar to blue old mill repro's that are out there...and people want to say it's real?
