Very slightly ...LOL,...OT re: Mint Grading Co.

Well it's very slightly OT on the Bob S scale, anyway.

I've got a '47 Williams Homoginized Bond Bread in a Mint Co. slab (a 9, and it looks it)

Most of us know of the illegal reprinting of the square corner versions of this set, which I believe was in conjunction with slabbing by PRO grading

(disclaimer ...I'm not publicly accusing or singling out PRO here, it's just what I seem to remember).

I'm curious if anyone knows if Mint Co. (whoever they are...LOL) was associated with this fiasco, and also if any of the major graders will grade this set.(the square cards, ie.)

thanks.

Bob

BTW, I took my lazy hat off and googled MINT Co., and yes indeed they are alive and well. Well, alive, anyway...oops, they're in FL, so that raises the FL "bucketshop" flag . At least it wasn't on the "Lauderdale Mile", but Brandon FL might be a suburb. LOL
