Who Would You Guys Trust...

You can always trust those guys. As long as you know what they do, you can trust them to do it!

I am sure the people I mentioned would know how to spot a real unaltered card WAY better than most.

Scott Russell, Ted Z., Ryan Hotchkiss immediately come to mind.

Add Ben, and Barry S assuming he'll be back someday. As well as a few other people.

That being said, everyone has an area they are better at. So it would depend on the card.

Thanks Jack, but I am 100% NOT on this list.

There are guys who are especially knowledgeable about certain issues/sets. So the “expert(s)” change depending on the specific card. There is a ton of t206 experts and a gaggle of guys I ask opinions of for t206. There are other guys I rely on for 1910’s E & T cards, post cards, Ruth items, Cracker Jacks, m101s and E120+, etc. I know relatively little, but sometimes I know who to ask. And even then, I am sure I have some bum cards in my collection (I bet we all do).

I agree 100% with Ryan. If you will tell us what set the card in question is from, you will most likely receive the best advice re who has expertise re that specific set.

Can’t believe my name isn’t on this list? I slept at a Holiday Inn last night.
