Cold habit. Still waving hi.
The Holsum's were known to exist. The Herpolsheimer's outside of the 1916 set, were not, until the dealer in my case in May 1999 shook his hand over them and said they weren't authentic/real or just plain fake. Your choice.
"The Herpolsheimer's cards are fake because someone in the 1970's decided the best way to make fake 1921 cards was to use a pattern from the same binder which looks (to you) like a disco floor."
You're making an assumption. The person may have seen the dance floor and the pattern or saw the pattern before going to press. Oh, did I give my uncle's background away again? Oh, so sorry. LOL.
"Plus the dealer said they were fake (you said "waiving" again, so I guess I will stop asking you to stop). Plus it is possible for a printer to make fakes. Plus fakes exist of other sets."
Got it as long as printer is in reference to a person and not something next to a desktop or laptop.
"I guess we are back at an impasse."
Hallelujah! This from an Agnostic. When weren't we at an impasse?
"And I hope you were kidding about having brain cancer (that would be in bad taste, but at least you wouldn't have it). But if it is true, I only wish the best for you."
No, I announced that on Net54 on December 25, 2020 and feel free to e-mail me for a fascinating attempted effort to vote for Alfred E. Neuman on November 3, 2020 followed by brain surgery on December 1, 2020 at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital for a 2 cm+ by 1 cm + by 3 cm + brain tumor. I asked the doctors to wake me for the Tuesday afternoon game that day. Yes, December 1, 2020 was a Tuesday and because of Covid the game was rescheduled to 4:00 p.m. My brother said he was leaving because I wasn't waking up and I told him that I was awake and as I spoke the words JuJu Smith-Schuster caught a touchdown pass. Not a bad way to awaken.
