Michael CampbellWhen I took on this authentication project, I had no idea that it would lead me to so many different places, and people. I just heard back from, what is probably the nations leading expert, on dating paper. he is out of Ct. (I am in Minn) He has redirected me back to an individual in Wisc. He tells me that this person should be able to do a microscopic test,(Without damaging the card) whereby they take a part of the card,(something the naked eye can not detect) and get an almost unqualified determination. And again, it's the thrill of the hunt, that makes this fun. Not the value of the card. I own about 50,000 cards, so what is one more, or one less. I know many have already written these off as fakes. maybe so. They could be correct. We will try and find out for certain. I am not letting out any opinions I have received from conservators until I can get some sort of definitive answer either way. Determinations will be gotten in writing if at all possible.
