I know that in this hobby a lot of us if not all of us have been burned at some point by a fake or deception of some kind.
This past weekend I took the card to the Charlotte card show and met with 10 different vintage dealers and an auction house. All agreed that the card is authentic but had never seen anything like this before.

Thousands of these cards never survived through the years so I don’t count out the possibility that there might be other cards from the same sheet just sitting in a box or unfortunately, damaged and thrown away.
Ted’s stats are clearly printed on top of the mantle image. The only way that could be done would be at the factory. How could you underlay an image on something that’s already been printed?
I’m not concerned about the value of the card or hoping it’s some crazy unicorn. I think it’s just really cool card and very unique.

When you walk up to a card show table and the 90-year-old man with half million in cards in front of him and he looks at your card and perks up and smiles and says wow!! The kid came out of that ole timer.
