This is ridiculous on a few levels- Fro Joy

N28 cuts too....no worries. Just label and describe them correctly. I am sure I have a lot of "cuts" in my collection. But I know what they are and bought them as such. To say the card in auction can be cut to perfection and then graded? ok....

I don't think it is real, on the back, the box lines don't touch which used to be a dead giveaway for it not being legit.

Now that's more like it. Now we have a legitimate concern about the item, beyond the description.

Like I said before, I don't have much experience with Fro-joys and couldn't speak for it being a period piece, or not. I believe all the arguments posted by me, leon, and everyone else were speculatively under the guise that it was at least period.

Now the discussion has become a whole new ballgame...Rather than requesting a re-list with a proper description, we have reason to believe it is simply a reprint, and should be removed alltogether..

I agree Greg. That paper these are printed on doesn't look like 90 yr old paper either and the images have that fuzzy look. As you well know, more than almost anyone, the great majority of the Fro Joy cards, and the Fro Joy sheets, we see are reprints.

The card was cut from a fake sheet and has been a primary source of fraudulent sales, whether accidental or intentional, since the 70's.

I like how the pre-grading cut was done by a professional. Only one more cut needed for grading perfection!

Does anyone have a picture of a legitimate Fro Joy sheet? I just realized of all the real Fro Joy singles I have seen, I don't recall seeing one single legitimate sheet in person. I'm sure there has been a recent sale in an auction or something? Just a question of curiosity.

i've only got a fake one...i got taken while in college...i tried to post scan but apparently it's too big. you see real ones every now and then come up...usually with original envelope they came in.

they're not super rare...but fro joys are still pretty good deals considering they're vintage ruth cards...you just have to make sure you buy real ones!
