The stamping on the back was a subject of much discussion. They talked about it for 20 minutes or so. They looked at it under several high test machines. They could tell alot from the edges, the accumulated wear to date, so on and so on. Again, I am no scientist. Just a former bank Vice President. But I will defer that discussion until I can more info, and try and get it in writing from the scientists involved. I don't want to taint anything in either direction. They were hesitant to tell me much. As they understand my wanting an accurate answer. I asked them many questions, but they wanted to wait. I won't even tell you what they told me. We will wait. I don't want this to turn into, what so many times happens in these situations where pseudo experts voice opinions without anything to back it up. Along with baseball memorabilia, I also am a big Victorian antique collector. Much of my home is late 19th century. The reason I mention this is because I have been through this before with antiques. It takes time sometimes. But I will try and get a definitive answer. I am as curious as anyone.
