Tom Boblittthe person working diligently on the 3 to get it to a 4 reaps what reward?........maybe $50 on a common T206? What about the person taking a 6 or 7 to an 8 or 9. What do they reap? $500, $750, $1000 or way more? Hmm..........seems like a LOGICAL choice as to what space you'd practice your trickery....not in the 3's but in the 6's and 7's.
I know you will fight that point to the death Jim and you say that there are all these people that support your theory on low grade altering but, quite frankly, I've not seen many (if ANY) of them come on here and support that theory. Might be easier to do a little something to a 3 to get it to a 4 than a 6 or 7 to an 8 but if you're a crook, you're going to maximize your return. That's why FEW (if any) $1's and $5's are counterfeited..........
And as to all the high grade T206's out there, I've heard of MANY times where vintage scrapbooks were soaked in bathtubs, pulling out really high grade cards. Unfortuately, I can't find any of those anymore........and, we can argue ad naseum about whether it's right to free the cards from scrapbooks. That's not the point for this thread....maybe Crandall, part 2.
