Counterpoint
It's not just that some/many think the card is a reprinted front pasted to the authentic back of a T206, it's that objectively, that is reality. If there were only one person in the world who knew the front of the card was a fake and everyone else believed it to be real, it still wouldn't make it so. Michael O'Keeffe chooses, again, to ignore that reality.
I was there when Cobb and Edwards purchased the card at a sportscard convention in Cincinnati--from a dealer with a table full of reprints and broders--and they (Cobb & Edwards) both knew and were told from the very beginning that it was a fake.
The story was pathetic when it was first presented by O'Keeffe in his book and is perhaps even more pathetic now.
