Gehrig question....

[vthobby]

Louie and Jeff,

Thanks for avoiding my 2 questions.

Fact #1 : On the back of this card it says "The enclosed game-used material is guaranteed by Panini America Inc."

Fact #2 : It also says "licensed by the family of Babe Ruth"

Fact #3 : Also says "licensed by Rip Van Winkle Foundation and www.LouGehrig.com

Fact #4 : Also "Officially licensed by MLB Players Association"

Now I understand that they could be from a spring training game, a pick up game, barnstorming, or a real game but it is hard for me to believe that with only 3 of these cards made that a multi-million dollar worldwide company like Panini is going to dupe both estates, MLB, and the public for a simple insert in one of its 2015 products. That would do well for their bottom line!

I also wonder how both of you would react if you or someone from your family plunked down $3 and got this card in your hands? I'm sure with the offers hovering around the $1000 mark that you would voice your doubts and displeasures so freely.

Please, If someone who has knowledge of Yankee uniforms and early era Yankee sweaters or wool would kindly give me those opinions I nicely asked for, that would be cool. If your opinion is "hey, those look like my son's little league uniforms that my wife cut up last week and sold to Mr. Panini at the back door at 3am" and you have video proof of such a transgression, then I would respect that as well. Video proof is quite frankly pretty neat.

Thanks,

Peace, Mike
