ShawnDavid,
I am not claiming that it could not be a fake, but the odds are not "as good as anything else" as you said above. That would imply that all odds are even?
There have been millions of T206s that have been through the hobby, yes but new things are constantly being discovered and for you to insinuate something new cannot not be found is kind of silly. As to you quoting me on the phone, I never said there is a good chance of anything... I said simply there is a chance. Nor would I say it may be the first one found? It may not be the first one found, It may not even be real!
David, I never claimed that the United Cigar logo leaked perfectly through? I said it is possible for ink to leak through paper or cardboard etc... Without the paper that was removed from the back of the card how can one claim that it has leaked perfectly through as you think has happened? But for you to claim that ink cannot leak through a T206 or any other card is simply not true. I have seen printed material that ink has soaked through and still can be read or seen with little change or unnoticeable change.
I could not agree more with what David Cycleback said above.
