Default rebacked hindu Matty

Posted By: Pennsylvania Ted

Your comment......

"..and how can other collectors watch their own back when buying raw to avoid buying a professionally-
rebacked card?"

Most of the veteran T206 collectors that still buy ungraded cards....like me....would never be fooled by a
"fake" T206 like this one. We know the difference, it's the "graded-only" card collectors that would fall for
this type of a fake because they rely solely on a 3rd-party to define their cards.

I brought up the subject of this "Red Hindu" Matty months ago in a Thread. And, if I recall correctly, there
was no interest in it. It's been documented in the T206 Museum site for many years, now.
Mistakes like these occur. However, fortunately, very seldom.

And, don't forget the PSA graded "fake" T206 Joe Doyle error card that showed up at a show several years
ago. Again, it got pass many dealers in the hobby that assumed it was authentic, just because it had been
professionally graded.
