1949 Bowman Jackie Roninson - Real or Fake?

Any updates?

I thin k it is real as registration is off a little on the front. Why would you reprint it that way?

Good point.

Yeah, it will be going to PSA soon. I'm pretty sure it's real at this point, but it just makes more sense to grade it anyway to increase the resell value and give buyers a peace of mind.

i guess we can put this thread to rest for 10 - 12 months. It's a long road to PSA and back.

If the card you scan as your source material is out of register that isn't usually corrected, as the fakers are mostly lazy.

I sent my 50 Bowman Jackie to PSA to get slab even if altered (a legit seller had in a lucite for decades) and they screwed it up. So it hung out in CA for months for nothing....At least they didn't charge me. But now I will send it to SGC, so I'll get it back quickly. So take care in filling out PSA's form...

Yeah, they don't tell you that you need to put "SLAB AS AUTHENTIC OR AUTHENTIC ALTERED IF IT DOES NOT RECEIVE A NUMBER GRADE" on the form. You just have to know.

I vote real as well. The registration sucks but that back is just drawer worn and dirty. There is no alligatoring from a tea soak, without having it in hand I say good but just honest wear.

The "Goudey Ruth opinion" thread reminded me of this post. Thanks for all the replies. To close this out, the card was submitted to PSA and came back as a PSA 1 and was sold at the February TriStar show.
