After I started the thread above, a member of the family began communicating with me about the find, the auction process, and all the stress and anxiety (and of course excitement). That person was very credible. Since my return to the hobby, I have learned that the population of the cards is now much greater than previously reported and/or assumed, but I still believe there is no way they are fake. The number of people and companies that would’ve had to conspire together in order to pull that off… there’s just no way.
I am in no way saying they are fake as I know nothing about the BSF. I am surprised how many think printing from 100 years ago is some outrageously difficult thing that nobody could do now. I have a great uncle that owned a fairly large printing company and 2 lifelong friends that have decades in printing. Trust me you do not have to be smart to do anything related to printing a simple picture on paper. Knowing that I have been amazed for a very long time way more top quality counterfeits have not completely flooded the market. With the way printing is dying I am amazed some small print shop owners haven't given it a shot because their company is or has gone bankrupt.
