Is this 1915 CJ Merkle Authentic?

[jingram058]

What does this fellow just not seem capable of understanding? IT IS FAKE! The color is wrong, the stock is wrong, the trimming off is stupid, it's too thick! I could go on and on. Everything about it is wrong. Why are we even having a conversation about it? Will someone please try to get through to him?

Now everyone is reversing course….please go on and on about how this is fake?…maybe you should reevaluate what you think you know. So many keyboard warriors on here so quick to hurl insults when they have no clue.

I'm not changing my tune. Until it comes back as Authentic from a TPG, I most definitely am not going to say it's genuine just because you say it is.

Edit: in the photos originally posted it looked 100000000000% fake.

Wonder if James will swallow his pride and admit he was inherently wrong….

Thanks for the follow-up. Fun to watch this post evolve start to finish.

As surprised as I am, I will ,of course, honor my bet. Pls PM me your address and I will send you a check for $100. I really thought the print was way off and it was a reprint. But now it can be a nice part of your CJ collection.
The 1/1 video of me eating Greg Jefferies Rc's is available for $100.

And beside it is the original image that was posted when it was for sale. Congrats on knowing what attributes to look for in really bad Cracker Jack scans. Based upon the original image, my guess is that very few vintage collectors would think it was authentic.

Now perhaps understand that the rest of us lowly not worthy collectors were reacting to an image that made it look inauthentic as hell.

That was a piss poor attempt at admitting defeat but I’ll take it. You sound saltier than a peanut. Haha

I, along with the majority that participated on this thread, were wrong. I stated my opinion of the card as shown in the original post, and I was wrong.

So what. My peanuts of choice are roasted, but unsalted.

Everything about the original pic made it look fake as a $3 bill. Yes, I will admit I was wrong.

Apparently not if I got it right but at least you have the balls to come back and admit you’re wrong. Kudos to you.

100% agreed!

I’ve stayed silent in the background for along time on here and watched the attacks and personal shots some on these members take on others. Now that the tables are turned all of a sudden you n54 vets get butt hurt.
