Using a pot of Taster’s Choice or Maxwell House to artificially age a reprint in order to pass it off as real.


Not an expert, but they seem to have been artificially aged first, and THEN someone started adding corner area wear to them. That's why (as has been noted) the sheer whiteness of the now exposed 'under cardboard' doesn't conform to reality. It would never be that bright on cards this old.
