This is a new picture. Unfortunately this is the best I can do due to the quality of scanner that I have. I appreciate all the honesty I have received from the board members. However, I did not post this to verify whether it is an original or a worthless copy. I wanted to find out the origin of this variation. Shammus (and others) have given me more information than I have had and I am quite sure that they are correct in their theory.
I am quite certain this card is the same as the Shammus card (if I may refer to it that way). The card looks genuinely old as I hold it in my hand. It was found with other candy/ice cream cards produced at/near Philadelphia. If you blow up the photo, on the bottom right you will see a small red line, the same border line as found on the Shammus card.
Any other information or theories on this variation would be nice. I can also handle more criticism in my quest to verify this card 100%. I realize I am not holding on to a Honus Wagner T206 card so I pose these questions to the board.
PSA is going to be at the Chicago show in November. Could they verify authenticity or the age of this card?
If it is verified, would other members on this board recommend grading it?
