Interesting. There's not a single word of yours above. I guess I'll add vision problems to your other "challenges".

You're very wrong. I did right here:

Well these Fritsch reprints were obviously not clearly marked enough if one could so readily be "authenticated" by PSA. Either that or PSA isn't very good at doing what they say they do. Take your choice. It's one or the other.

I posited no "counterfeiting ring". Just a Philippines company using cards obtained at minimal cost to help sell its product (probably cigarettes). In case you hadn't noticed, cigarette cards first appeared in 1875. The phenomenon quickly spread across the globe because the cards did indeed increase sales. I'm surprised this needed to be explained to you.

Sorry. I'm not so easily shocked. Only disappointed if the card in question turns out to be one of Fritsch's.

Well as they say "Practice makes perfect." If G1911 continues to hone his craft, he may eventually rise to mediocrity.
