1925 Exhibit Lou Gehrig, Is this real?

I think Peter’s assessment makes the most sense. I would even go so far as to say $50K+ value, if real, for an example this clean with no writing on the back. Does it really make any sense to jerk around with a $2 authentication fee? Patrick, unless you are 100% sure that it’s fake, the only sensible thing is to send to SGC or PSA. Anything short of that, you do know that it’s fake and are trying to possibly maximize your return from it.

Phil I obviously do not know it is a fake why would I post all this stuff, ask the board, etc., and then post this COMC update? I don't appreciate any insinuations that I am trying to do something unethical/fraudulent, I actually care about this hobby and would feel horrible if someone was stuck with a fake based on my actions.

Patrick I think the mistake you made was assuming COMC would know the first thing about this card. I can't imagine they are capable of rendering an opinion one could reasonably rely on. So I would proceed as you have proposed to get the card back in hand and figure out from there how to satisfy yourself that it is indeed fake, which I believe it is.
