I can't wait to read the new book. I hope it addresses not only the allegation that the card was hand-cut from a sheet, but also Bill Heitman's point that such sheets were not printed until the 1930s. This fact seems to me to even further diminish the card's value.

The most intriguing aspect of this discussion to me is the timing of the most recent sale. Assuming the buyer is aware of the book and that it undoubtedly questions the provenance of the card, he/she must have determined that the controversy can only enhance its value.

By the way, this thread strikes me as an example of this forum at its best. Mark
