Reader's Digest Version: Brian asserts that the cards are fake, because someone long ago told him they were fake. Brian believes the person was in a position to know and had no obvious reason to lie about it.
Meanwhile, numerous hobby stalwarts have analyzed the cards and concluded that they are real, including PSA. As such the preponderance of people (including myself) have concluded that the probability is very high that they are real, and Brian's account is flawed in some unknowable way.
Despite the over-heated use of phrases like "lock-solid proof", "conclusively proven real", and ". . . that fact (that Brian is wrong)", there will never be complete certainty because there is no practical way to definitively prove the cards are real. Expert opinion is occasionally wrong.

George,
Well put. Just not heated from my side. Amused.
