extra red ink card

[Cardboard Junkie]

Interesting Kevin....Can't wait to see a detailed scan under the loupe. Do you have a black light? How does it look under that? Dave. ps maybe Ted Z will chime in.

I don't have a blacklight unfortunately.

I must say I am honestly stumped. I have included a set of scans on my site. One is from my scannner. And i highlighted the interesting parts that i notice red ink on, that you really can't see with the naked eye....particularly the grass in the background.

the loupe pictures were much harder to take because of steadying the hand and the area i can realistically take a photo of
in focus.

while the hat looks colored in and fake when you look at it, the more up close you look the better it gets, its tough to tell in the middle of the hat because there are scratches on the surface of the card and they add to the shadow/textures in that area.

there are places where there is blue ink and red ink on the uniform that look really consistent with a shading pattern and the hat where the jig jags are have a very very fine spatter pattern that is consistent with how the ink would have been laid down.

C'mon Kevin, are you funnin me?

The card is real but it has been messed with. Firstly, why would you start a new thread talking about this when you had another going about it? Secondly, are you trying to justify that this card is the real deal? It's the real deal BUT that cap is as phony as a three dollar bill so you can stop there.

A red fine tip pen was used to make the lines on his jersey. For the 100 bucks that you spent you could of had a few Delahanty's that were not messed with. Pulled a couple of Delahanty cards out of my low grade raw collection to compare.

God Bless you for trying though.

My bad....somebody was discussing this card during the eBay auction on another site but did not save it.

Do you agree the card is real?

...and has been messed with?

or tell us what you are thinking?

Your graded Delhanty and my left Delahanty have the redness in the face but yet there is no red on the uniform.

BTW, I like your other missining red ink and name errors on your site. Those are sweet!

the card is definitely real.

im not convinced yet that it has been messed with in its entirity.

there are places where the red ink you are seeing appears to be under the blue ink on the uniform but its hard to tell.... as well as appearing to be the same the other colors on the hand.

the red hat makes it tough to swallow. i don't claim to be an expert and am in fact not but i have looked a cards under a loupe before.

what about the blue ink on the uniform? do you think that is real? why would someone ad blue in to the card in a fashion that it is applied. you would have to get in there with a microscope to do it. the blue ink is clearly a shading/embelishment color on the uniform.

im not on here trying to convince you that its real. that is not the point. i came on to get open minded opinions.

side note the name is not messed with. it is curled up on the edge so you can't see the letters. to your point about the face, no. they don't have red ink. they have flesh color on the face. the face on the red hat card is definitely red ink. same thing with the hand and all of the other places i pointed out.

just a guess here, but a $5.00 black light may solve this, i would think.
