After all the bashing Scott Forrest gave me over the forged E95 Cobb that escaped me when I first started collecting caramels a few years back (while putting together an E95 set), to find out that not one, but TWO forgeries escaped Forrest's "Expert Eye" is simply icing on my cake! At least with the Cobb that escaped me, I never really looked at it (or took it out of the four or five top loaders it was in that were taped together for shipping purposes when I received it - in fact, I even shipped it that way myself). So, it was my fault for not examining the card clearly where I could tell if it was real or not (valuable lesson learned and taken to heart by me).

So, I guess this will be the end of the Hell that Mr. Forrest has given me for quite some time now. Or, it would be a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black if he doesn't!

Just goes to show that none of us are perfect. However, hopefully, we can all learn from past mistakes - I know I sure did!

A ton has been lifted off my shoulders now and that black cloud that was once above my head now has a silver lining!
