john/z28jd Connelly is a joke,he said he could appraise the card but not authenticate it when I talked to him a couple years ago about it. Part of their proof is its a blue Piedmont back card but my scan above shows my reprint is a blue back as well so that theory goes out the window.Its just an old reprint. I got mine in 1991 after buying the last 3 t206 cards some guy had,and back then it looked old so I figured it was from the 70's,no earlier. I cant believe the guy talks to the head of a respected grading company and a guy who doesnt have another old card and gives them both a 50/50 chance of being right. Also as someone said,the fact Connelly gets to keep the card for months but a grading card company cant have it for an hour to grade while you wait? Heres an idea,take pictures of the whole thing,the card front and back,you handing the card in,you waiting,you getting the card back and finally the disappointed look on your face when you see their assessment.
