1933 Goudey #106 Napoleon Lajoie "SGC 10" (fake)

[LuckyLarry]

1933 Goudey #106 Napoleon Lajoie was actually not issued with the regular set. Of course imagine the panic in the collecting world as nobody could find #106! Outraged collectors had to write a letter to Goudey to obtain the card, and #106 was produced with a 1934 front and a 1933 back. The Standard Catalog says the NM value of this card is $40,000! Reprints are readily available on eBay for a couple of bucks. I'm about 80% finished with my 1933 Goudey set, and of course I will never obtain this card, and a reprint card is in place.

I purchased an SGC slabbed 1933 Goudey #19 Bill Dickey, and as is my practice, I cracked the card out of the slab. My storage space is limited, and slabs just take up to much room. As I was cleaning off my work bench, my mind wandered to my Lajoie reprint card. So with a little sandpaper, a little creasing, and a soak in some leftover coffee, the transformation was complete. I matched up the font on the "flip", printed out the new information, and "updated" the "flip". Super glue was used to "sonically-seal" the card.
