1921 Standard Biscuit D350-3 Tris Speaker?

Sorry, that is a counterfeit.

Yeah, it is a counterfeit card from the 1970's that was made by a lady named Janet H[ellein].

She sold to many collectors via mail order during that decade. The fake cards consisted of Standard Biscuit, Henry Johnson, N172 Old Judge, Home Run Kisses and a few others. I have a small collection of the fakes that I have picked from from a few sources over the years along with some of the original letters from the fraudster. The counterfeit cards still show up in older collections that hit the hobby.

Here's a related thread that I happened upon a few months ago when researching Standard Biscuit cards. It is fascinating and worth a read.

That's good info to know!

I picked this up at the first show I went to, in 1978. was told it was fake shortly after by the dealer whose shop I hung out at.

figured out much later that Wood isn't in that set, and the back is reading the wrong way.

I always wondered who went to the effort of having it printed for a whole $2 sale.

Now I know
