I have been reading through this years REA auction catalog and was struck by this thought- How do the grading companies grade and/or authenticate these just discovered or only known to exsist cards. how do you know that something is real if no one has ever seen copy before. Were do they get the dimensions, the paper type ect. It seems that if you found old paper anyone could make up one of these cards. Most spcifically I am referring to the Babe Ruth Team Card from the Baltimore Sprtong News. Any thoughts out there on how the companies grade these cards
