What's the real deal with these Cuban cards?

[ernestohur68]

I just talk with rolando by phone. He said that ryan is a very prestigius expert and that he is sure from now than ryan will say that cards are originals. He say that ryan know the cards are originals , that he can't put in game his reputation telling than cards are not originals. Anyway tomorrow at 3.00 o clock, rolando will be in the forum to peopleo who think that i am using him and the he don't want to be public, as ryan said

Can PSA or SGC determine they are original? That would put an awful lot of pointless discussion to rest.

No disrespect to the TPG's but these guys know more than they do about Cuban cards.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I put all of my trust in Ryan C. It also has to be a precarious position to judge a card not in hand.

3:00 what time zone?

How about we let Rolando speak for himself? If he wants people to know who he is, he doesn't need anyone else to do it for him, but I can say a few words to help introduce him. For anyone who doesn't know, Rolando Sanchez is the world's leading authority on Cuban baseball cards. No one has had more Cuban baseball cards pass through their hands than Rolando, including myself. I've done a lot of business with Rolando in the past and would not have the collection I have today were it not for him. I've been to his house several times and seen some of the cards in person that are posted in those pictures above. I trust his opinion, and if Rolando says the cards are real, that is good enough for me. If ROLANDO says it. Not someone saying Rolando says it.

However, I have some very specific doubts about them that perhaps Rolando can address. There are some red flags here. My doubts are more about the 4 Almendares cards than the amateur cards, but I do have some doubt on the whole group. It's possible they're real, though. Without seeing them in person, it is much harder for me to tell. It sounds like more will be revealed tomorrow at 3:00 in some time zone.
