Maybe the TPG's have discovered the density of each baseball card thru the years and are keeping it a secret on Oak Island

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I think weight is a minor thing to look for, but it could be and has been done before. An SCD book on fakes talked about weighs. But you'd have to have to have an accurate and precise scale.

I think if some did an accurate weighing of authentic cards and made the data available, that would be useful.

Card thickness is also a biggie.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but that smell is super easy to put into counterfeit cards.

Weighing cards is the best way to sell junk-era stockpiles - sell 'em by the pound.

Default All 3rd party graders weigh their cards

They use a 1-10 scale.

cardboard and bubble gum. Like the old ballparks, that inimitable combination of spilled beer, cigar stubs, popcorn, peanut shells, mustard, and a hundred other things pressed into the concrete walkways and aged for generations. Nothing else like it in the world.

Keep watching.... they're almost there! By season 38 in 2052, they'll find more metal pins!!!!! Amazing television!!

Oh History Channel, what would we do without your informative and questionably-sane shows about nutbag UFO "theorists", eating moldy old food and "hunting" for a German dictator dead for three quarters of a century.
