Same 4 vote lead now for yes, even with all the more recent posts explaining MIN SIZE. Time to get over it?

It's basically been just about 50/50 the whole time. That is how I will see it. For the record, when SGC made 2 bad mistakes on my Yum Yum, thinking it was a counterfeit and then on review just giving it the NO.....then BVG and PSA graded it a 1. NO, I didn't think SGC's mistakes needed to be disclosed when it sold. SGC was glaringly wrong on it.

I remember that card… It was weird looking. Those are rare cards not many examples and some of them look weird yours looked weird...to me. SGC erred on the side of caution PSA is PSA!

It was real as the day is long. Yes, printing was a bit off but it is 100% legit. Andy Broome did some testing and proved it before he put it in a 1 holder at BVG. THEN PSA put it in a 1 holder also. SGC just isn't very good at some issues.

Leon--I remember you showing me that card at a National. I looped it and stared at it for a long time and couldn't tell if it was good or not. Probably the best argument that I could come up with for it being good was why would anyone counterfeit that card? I could see SGC not wanting to grade it --that was hardly a clear cut call.

I respectfully disagree. And there's nothing wrong with that. There are 0 other specimens of that pose except maybe one at the LOC. It was a 7k card and, imo, it would have been a lot of work for that to be made as a counterfeit. I bought it from a book seller on ebay. He offered me a full refund and I said, no, SGC dropped the ball. All good.

Hi Leon! I agree that counterfeiting it made no sense. It just looked different under a loope than any other 19th century photographic card I had seen. Hope all is well with you and yours!

We're in agreement, Jay. I had a great time in VA today with the group. Thanks and hope all is well your way!
