Cuban Polar Cards

[Archive]

Posted By: michael Campbell

What I plan on doing, is getting expert opinions from
the following:

Minnesota Historical Society. They are going to do
tests on: The Font. The adhesive on the back of the
card. Chemical tests can be done. The makeup of the
pulp in the paper. They can even do tests to see if
the paper was manufactured in Cuba. I am also going to
talk to experts on all these things from forensic
experts in Kansas City, and Boston. I am sparing no
expense. Not because of the "value" of the card, but
because I want to prove it one way or the other. The card
looks real to me. But I have been fooled before. I
will admit that. One of the curators at the Historical
Society also has a Cuban paper, and print expert on
their staff. So....we shall see. I will not stop until
I can get a reasonable yes or no. I know there are no
certainties, but we can get some probabilities. Cost
is no object here.

I have made several calls already. I am on the Board
of Direstors for the local Historical Society, and my
good friend is on the Board of the Minnesota
Historical Society. So...we will get an answer on way
or another.

Everyone have a wonderful weekend. Remember, this all
a hobby and it supposed to be fun......it's not life
and death.
