David SmithHello all,
Sorry, Leon you can move this to the BST area if you think this is too off topic.
I am going to list an Ed Smith Mayo Cut Plug boxing card on eBay and need some help. The card is 2 7/8 inches tall by 1 5/8 inches wide. The front shows Ed in a boxing stance. The back is blank and looks like it has been removed from a scrapbook.
My question is, other than buying Adam's book, how can I tell it is real?? I bought the card from Slater's Americana Auctions about 10 years ago and was going to trade it to a boxing card collector but the deal never materialized. Now I want to make sure it is authentic before I list it.
Under a small power magnifying glass, I see dots on the front but can not make out if they are colored or black and white or sepia. The dots seem to be random, not in rows.
Thanks for the help,
David
