The ole....now that it's over....St. Paul Colored Gophers postcard

[mannybb24]

Thanks for the info guys, I too was watching the PC and when I saw it end early, my first thought was that the seller took an offer off EBay.
I'm no expert on postcards so i'm glad no one got burned on this one.

By the way, a few years ago Heritage had the "real" one of these and it sold for around 1600.

Tough call guys...at the end of the day I think I fall on the side, of mostly, putting info out. Not all info, but most. It probably needs to be decided case by case. I do think that with this card in hand it might be much more obvious. I know I am rarely unable to tell a fake in person, but for many of us, most of our buying is over the net.

This is a copy of the one sold in Heritage. And here's another copy on eBay recently:

Wonderful! I see from this guys completed auctions, they are making fake tintypes now. I wasn't aware of this until just now.

This is pretty scary stuff, Negro League photos and panoramas have been faked for a while now but it looks like the defrauders are moving to postcards now. How long before it moves on to Punch & Cabanas cards, etc.?
