After I read my post I need to mention that in no way was I saying that Leon had any part of that if it were a scan of his original. We all know what people can do now days with sample pictures from the internet.

I've always believed the obliterated "H" was a telltale sign of a fake. It just seems that 99% of those offered for sale have that same flaw.

Maybe it IS the same wrapper.

If you will notice, not only does the original poster's wrapper have the "H" scratched out (like Leon's wrapper does) but under the brown stain you can also see the number "7" (like Leon's wrapper has) in the same spot.

I quickly searched the web and looked for Babe Ruth Home Run candy wrappers and only these two wrappers have the number "7" on them.

Maybe some one is trying to have a little fun with the board.....

Not accusing anyone of anything but just bringing it up for discussion.

The creases on the two wrappers are very different.

Are there any examples with a good H? Maybe the mangled H was an original printing flaw???
