Card authenticity from a distance??

[Paul S]

Thanks for following up. Sorry you couldn't make the auction because I would have liked to have known, but sometimes the route less traveled is better left just that. I am belate to this thread, so just now saw the scan. I have owned all those cards and am now bereft of the Rose rook and the Aaron, since sold. I don't like that scan, as pretty as it seems. To emphasize some others' comments IMHO, very shiny, centering-weenie and most reprinted. What is up with that scan? I imagine it's from a catalog -- print or online --but it looks like the cards were photographed on a pinball machine (at top), then morphs onto a car hood (at bottom). The left side of the image shows fall trees and the right side looks like a driveway. I hate that kind of stuff. Just give it to me straight, Doc!
