I will post a scan tonight after work I really think it is tampered but again I could be wrong and it is legit. The members here are very knowledgeable in the T 206s
Thank you for the link I will cross reference the ones I have to the link you gave me.
a little history on how I aquired the cards: I bought a huge collection back in 2003 and this collection had over 300 T206s i never thought i would own more than 1 and at that time i didn't even have one. It even came with American Caramel and some strip cards, came with complete sets like 1986 topps football, 1981 fleer, 1987 fleer glossy, 2000 paramount update several Hank aaron mickey mantle HOFers and super stars.
I took the prewar to my LCS who was very knowledgeable of the pre war era and said they were all authentic so I took 1 Chief Bender and had it graded. since then until 2012 I tried to buy at least 2 cards a month or more. Then my dad got sick that January and spent all extra cash going back and forth to visit him and died in that September right after his 2 sisters died one in July and the other in August. While contacting family I found out my moms brother died that April and while at the funeral on transit to the grave site my moms other brother died that day. There for a while I still collected but not heavily into it for I lost alot of passion and interest especially in the vintage and prewar era cards. I would buy a box here and there or trade some trying to get my life back to normal.
Well enough of that I am looking to see what new discoveries are made in this set and trying to get myself back up to speed for I want to finish this set as a cherished memory I had with my dad.

I can't think of a better reason to get back into the swing of things. It sounds like you have gotten past the negative emotions relating to pre-war cards and missing your dad...and you are ready to remember the good times the cards helped to bring between the two of you.
It is wonderful to hear and I certainly wish you all the best. There is a lot that has gone on and continues to with this set and the research being done by many on this board.
