The Gehrig looks real to me. It just looks like it's faded, either from the sun or from chemicals. Who is going to glue a fake Gehrig to a scrapbook?

When I was in the Navy, I was on two different ships (Midway and Independence) home ported out of Yokosuka and shore duty at Atsugi. Learned to speak Japanese fairly well, and even read/write some kanji and katakana. They can't pronounce our r. So Larry got pronounced "Laddy" or "Lawdy".

Who is Larry?

Being a raw cards only guy, and knowing what Mr. Reality seems to be about from his many net54 posts, I think they're real. Just faded for whatever reason(s).

Quite the interesting thread. It's a rabbit hole so have a few spare minutes...

Thanks, Leon. You're right, it took me quite some time to read through the story of Larry, the Happy Meal Bandit. It is one of the craziest yet interesting threads I have read on this forum.

Hi Everyone

I took alot more photo's to the best I could

I put them all on my Flickr Account(IN LINK BELOW)

and they are in the "RAW FOLDER"

Let me know what you think.

Then I am moving forward with moving them 2 way or another

appreciated

That Anson looks 1,000 times better in the Flicker account than it does on here. To the point, I reverse my "fake" statement. Still not sure about the Gehrig.

And while I didn't care for the way the Gehrig borders' colors looked in the first picture they look fine in this one.

definitely appears to be glue on back - I'm guessin a good soak would remove most of that old type glue - yes?

[jingram058]

And I stand by my original not fake diagnosis!

What a difference a clear image can make...both the Anson and Gehrig appear to be nice authentic cards. Congrats on your 5 year ago pickups!
