And by the way, if someone buys these fakes based on somebody on this board saying they can't verify their authenticity, that would be on them.

But you go beyond saying they cannot be verified. YOU say that based on the info ( yes I understand this to mean information) THEY CHECK OUT. To your credit you point out that the information you quote is one source, Maltas book. A very limited amount of information. But a very quick search of the internet of his items verifies that they are not real. But you didn't do that. So while your definition of information is common, it is also quite limited.
Did you read the thread on the main board by this same scammer? Because you say I didn't apply the same criticism to that thread. But I did. Rather than post to the scammer what a lovely Jackie Robinson retirement letter you have. I spent 7 seconds and verified it was not real. I also pointed out that even with fuzzy photos that modern typset on the back of a T206 is the most common way folks who reproduce old cards let everyone know they are Reprints!
Sorry it's just my opinion that scammers need to be called out quickly and definitively. I am far from the only person on this board able to accomplish this. Just randomly came across the thread. Spent a little time researching (7 seconds for the memorabilia less for the T206's) and took the time to call scammer out.
In your post you referance the practice of Game used authenticators who often state they offer no opinion on weather Signatures are real or not. That is very...very differant from saying "according to the info they check out". Which is probably why they don't say that.
