Default FroJoy Set on Ebay - Opinions Please

Posted By: Scott Forrest

The graders should be able to tell a real one from a fake - if they need to get training or equipment similar to David's, then they should get it.

Fro Joy's are no different from any other vintage card - there were a limited number of printing/production techniques available in 1927 and a grader should be familiar with items produced using those producting techniques and be able to ascertain if "anything" is from that general period, and most certainly a card from a set that has real examples available.

What if a forger comes up with a reprint of similar quality for E121's? Does that mean that SGC, PSA and GAI have to stop slabbing them? Heck, they were produced using a technique similar to that used for Fro Joy's.
