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...

Quite interesting indeed

I am confident in all the cards. But of course their is always the possibility.

I will let everyone know shortly what I will do

Could just give them a price and sell them "as is"...let the buyer take a little risk just like you did Jeff. Leave a little meat on the bone so that the buyer could have them graded.

Tough call from here to tell if they are good. A picture of each with different lighting might be very helpful.

I think the Gehrig and Anson are genuine. It looks like these cards were originally glued to a scrapbook. The scrapbook may have had water/moisture damage that caused the cards to look that way. The surface of the cards might’ve gotten slightly stuck onto the previous scrapbook page.

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.
