Rich KleinI'm glad to see that these are bringing so much scrutiny. My suggestion is that someone with NO axe to grind for EITHER side take a good hard look and examination of these items.
Someone who has experience with 19th century materials and can date the materials totally.
I suspect that many authenticators would love a "free" trip to Vegas and if I were American with this much discussion on the subject, I'd offer to foot the bill to get someone agreeable to all sides out to Vegas to do a forensic exam.
Just an idea from someone who spends quite a bit of his time trying to figure out the fun world of 75 new products in baseball each
