MW"I am not an Old Judge expert, but I know quite a bit about photographs. I saw these cards displayed at the National. They do not seem to be albumen prints and the stock of the mount does not seem to be from the 19th century. Is Bob Lemke an expert on photographs? I would have thought that SCD would have done more research on them before featuring them on their front cover."
"I have long maintained that these items are modern fakes."
"Michael Petersen, who provided the COA for the photos, is a professional photographer of 40 years' experience"
"I've had 25 years of daily professional experience in the card hobby and I saw nothing to indicate these photos did not originate in the 19th Century."
So which is it?
