Frank Chance (Large Card)

[Tabe]

Almost certainly a Mike Wheat reprint. The damage on the back is exactly where the Wheat cards put the moon design to designate them as reprints.

I'll revise to 90% sure it's fake, with a 10% chance it's real and stolen from a library or museum.

I have looked online to try and find any stolen cards with no luck. If they were stolen I would sure return them. Prob pretty tough to steal from s museum

I've offered to look at the t206s where I think I can determine authenticity - I won't be of use for anything else - including these.

Cory, my apologies. I thought you also meant the T3's.

I was wrong and no one has offered to look at them.

What determines if it's authentic?

This guy also has a Mint T206 Honus Wagner and a mint Doyle New York Nat'l Error....


The T3s are clearly reprints. Even from the purposely subpar photos, you can tell that there is no dimension to the paint or card. Real T3s have the feel of being beveled, and though the Wheat reprints were great because they were the same size - they are still not even close to an authentic T3.

This was moved to the front page as that is where it best fits, not in an auction section. Thanks!

The Mike Wheat T3s have those designs on both bottom corners though.

[Jay Wolt]

I scanned these, a Mike Wheat & an original T3

May I inquire when the auction ends for this gorgeous “large card”?

Yep. And both corners look discolored to me, right where the design should be.

[Bdt1981]
