I don't know anything about these cards. Any idea how they know it's fake? Someone asked that on the Blowout thread but no one gave an answer other than a link to a 27 page thread which I really am not that interested in reading through.

The experts don't always want to share their info on fakes - as it can help the criminals perfect their craft. It could be something so small and virtually unnoticeable.

I don't know, but I have seen enough of the guy's work and messaged with him enough times that I trust his assessments. Plus, with all the stuff he has called out, I don't think anyone ever really disputed any specific finding.

For those established members who have seen and handled a lot more vintage than I have...If you came across a hard to find vintage card in a MBA holder, would you keep it as is, or would you send to PSA or SGC for a crossover?

with the way PSA has been grading vintage for the last 2-3 years, MBA can't do worse.

Mike got that one wrong, evidently, but I would still trust him more than PSA or SGC, but that is just me.

Thank you for the reply, Leon. I appreciate it.
