First of all, you type as if you've had a stroke -- is that your problem? Second, to lie and act as if you don't care if the cards are real just makes you look like more of an idiot than before (assuming this is possible). If real, you'll have your biggest payday in your life. If not, you're back to whatever hum drum, post-stroke job in which you're currently mired. And if you're constantly bemoaning the time you've "wasted" on this site, why not take your fake cards and GTFO?

Skrubinski- Sorry I'm a little late here but I am out of town this week. Where do I start. First off, it's really bad form to come on a forum with many of the most knowledgeable collectors in the hobby and call them idiots.That will never work. We get a lot of threads like this, where people who aren't collectors find things and ask the experts what they think. We're all pretty good at this.

And before you go calling me an idiot (you wouldn't be the first to do so) I've been a full time dealer of baseball memorabilia since 1982. That said, none of the cards you found appear to be real. Certainly, the d304 Cobb is without a doubt a reprint. When you hear from SGC today, you will find that out.

Do you notice that every corner of every card you have has pretty much the same exact corner wear? That's a really bad sign right there. Cards don't all wear in exactly the same way.

Anyway, you will find out the bad news for yourself. But bad form all the way around.

I'm late to the party as well, but I've learned along the way that anytime you find extremely high dollar cards from different eras all together without any other mid-range to low-end cards, you should be very suspicious.

Also, the cards you have are without a doubt some of the most often faked cards I've seen over the past few years. Fake Hank Aaron Rookies, Leaf Ted Williams & Stan Musials, and Goudey Babe Ruths turn up at small local auctions and estate sales fairly regularly. I was honestly surprised not to see a 1956 Mantle included, it's a staple as well in that grouping of fake cards.

Given the fact that this was an estate sale, I suspect the owner died a happy man. I also wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a Wagner in his coffin............................in a screwdown holder of course.

Jeff, you've used too many long words for me.

I can't wait to hear the results!

Although, I guess if we don't hear back at all, we can assume what happened...

If the OP comes on here and admits that SGC found them all to be not authentic, I will gain a lot of respect for him (I actually think he's handled the abuse on here quite well, all things considered. And, yes, the OP could've used a bit more tact).

My favorite part of the thread is when he comments on his own comments.
