N403 Yum Yum Welch Pitching
Sometimes opinions can differ. This currently resides in the Beckett 1 holder. It came from a bookseller who said it fell out of a book. I first sent it to SGC and was stunned when they said it was counterfeit. The seller said he would refund me and I said no, let's wait until Beckett can look at it. I thought it was good from the little bit I know. Beckett confirmed my suspicions. They said that under a microscope it is an albumen photo, with the telltale hairs showing, of a wood engraving just as it should be. They also compared it to another Yum Yum albeit that one was in a holder already. In hand I thought it was good when I first got it although the front printing is out of focus. BTW, there is only one other known card like this and it is in the Library of Congress. Thoughts?

That’s funny I just seen a picture of the Cap Anson and wondered how tough these really are. Neat cards, sorry I can’t help with authenticity on it.

I think the "be your own judge" applies today as well as it ever has. Obviously the graders have been shown to have issues here and there. What's more scary if it's authentic just how many eyes did it pass through at SGC that all said no it it? This wouldn't have fell in the typical $100 value range...we are talking upper grading fees which should require multiple eyes and levels of scrutiny.

Without holding it and inspecting it, I would venture to guess the card is real.
If it it is real, it's RARE. I had a Yum Yum similar to that (hand drawn) years ago.

In general I would trust SGC's experience over Beckett's. I am not familiar enough with the issue to make a call either way but if you are good with it and Beckett is good with it, seems like a 2 to 1 vote. Nice pick up.

That's pretty crazy that one TPG thinks it's real and the other fake. Usually the difference in opinion is whether a card is trimmed or not. Maybe send it into PSA?
Edited to add: presuming you don't mind not getting the card back for a year.
