I thought I had a tremendous find!

But it turns out, nope.
I stopped by an antique place today that I've been meaning to get to. Asked if they had any sports items or images. The guy says he's not sure. After browsing through several rooms, I came across a Mays poster (I'll post a new thread about that), and a CSC Dan Marino plaque. I told him about the forgery and we talked awhile. Then he remembers a box of auto'd cards he picked up a few years ago and brings then out. Over 100 and he had another box or two! I leafed through and found some certified issues and mostly 80's cards. He let me take home these to research. I'm not sure of about 4, (not shown) but....

It appears our FL gang has taken to using older cards to do give credence to their dirty work.

The operative word was thought.

If it is a forgery, their Reggie Jackson is really good.

Stop, if there is real one I will pay double. OMG all the the same person. So Reggie must had fun forging everyone else.

The shapes of the Reggie is OK but it is sooo forced. Some of the others are laughable. Yuk!

That Ryan is laughable.....though I think I'd be fooled by the Killebrew

You're right, but most don't even get Reggie's shape even close, especially the R, so I'm fairly impressed. The others in the picture just plain suck.
