Real or Fake

I swear this seller had these same exact cards up about six months ago:

RARE - ATC - BASEBALL SERIES T206 - DOUGHERTY

RARE - ATC - BASEBALL SERIES T206 - CHASE

RARE - ATC - BASEBALL SERIES T206 - HOWELL

I have a fried who purcahsed a Howell Broadleaf from this seller and still has the card in his possession. He had the card graded and it now resides in a PSA 2 slab. This seller has had quite a few rarer back T206's from time to time so it is quite possible he could have multiples.

Ended... Theyre real. Two different brands, but quite unusual that they all exhibit the same miscut pattern. These have likely remained a trio for near a century.

Now that the auctions have ended, the answer is yes they are real. I had a snipe bid for the Broad Leaf, but I deleted it when I saw my buddy TedZ was winning with 32 seconds left. Too bad he was out sniped at the end.

Be well Brian

Maybe it's me but the cards he had up six months ago seemed like they were the same players, same backs and the same miscut on the Chase. I suppose I could be mistaken.

This seller sold the EXACT same T206 Howell, Broad leaf 350 card back on August 27, 2006. He used the EXACT same scan. While the old scan is no longer with the old auction he did used the same scan back in August as now. Maybe he was too lazy to scan the "new" auction cards? While I do not track the other cards he was selling this time I also believe that the Chase, blue portrait with Cycle back was also the identical card from August.

I stayed away from them mainly because of what I thought were bat's ears on the lower and upper right corners of the Chase.

I also thought it was odd that the Howell and Dougherty had the exact same little 45-degree chip out of the lower right hand corner, and some kind of corner bulges at the top (top left on Howell that extends out to the side, and top right on the Dougherty that extends upwards).

I am no expert by any means, so I'm probably a little more sensitive than needed to little oddities like this - just becaue I do know my knowledge is so limited. I never thought they weren't real, just possibly tampered with.

I was the high bidder on the cycle 460 Chase and Dougherty. The cards I received were the exact cards in the scans. I would recommend the seller. Regards
