My guess -- pure and simple -- is that the seller acquired them from someone who told him they were fake; or the seller had them appraised by someone he trusted who told him they were fake. Any of those people is just offering an opinion as to authenticity unless they printed them or fabricated them personally.

I have a signed T206 Cobb that James Spence told me was fake. Does that make it so? In the hobby today, you bet it does.

If Brian himself does not know who fabricated them, then the best anyone can hope for is an expert opinion. And the experts on Net54 have clearly weighed in on them being authentic.

This is all that matters.
The original seller has credibility in my eyes.
