She sold to many collectors via mail order during that decade. The fake cards consisted of Standard Biscuit, Henry Johnson, N172 Old Judge, Home Run Kisses and a few others. I have a small collection of the fakes that I have picked from from a few sources over the years along with some of the original letters from the fraudster. The counterfeit cards still show up in older collections that hit the hobby.

That's good info to know!
I picked this up at the first show I went to, in 1978. was told it was fake shortly after by the dealer whose shop I hung out at.
figured out much later that Wood isn't in that set, and the back is reading the wrong way.
I always wondered who went to the effort of having it printed for a whole $2 sale.
Now I know
