Is this 1915 CJ Merkle Authentic?

Bob, I don't see where anyone won anything. Don't ask "Yoda" for $100. It is what it is. I think it's a $15 card and real, others disagree. Yoda was the original board-op, so he should get some slack in my opinion. Good luck collecting, and enjoy your card.

I have no idea what you mean? He was the original board op? What’s that have to do with being completely wrong? He made a public bet and now is reneging on it. Gone completely quiet and won’t respond to my pm.

I am not reneging on anything. I sent you a PC declaring the bet is on as long as you first post a picture of the card you submitted and the submission form. My bet, as stated, only applies to the 1st scan posted, not subsequent ones. As stated, I will cover the grading cost, so send me a pm with the amount and I will send you a check. If scan #1 card comes back with an A I will pay you the $100 and eat all my Greg Jefferies RCs. If a reprint, well you know.. John Spencer

Here is the submission form.

Alright the submission is in! Don't be shy about letting us all know what SGC grades it as!

FYI your address and phone number are both still visible through the lighter part of the black marker...I can make out everything except the first numbers of the zip but that can be located based on the city so you may want to redo the pic...

Can't wait until you let us know what SGC says!

After that revised scan it looks 100% good to me now. That OG scan was really misleading.

Great. Our bet is now in the hands of SGC. Part of the bet stipulations was a scan of the card you submitted. Not there in your post. If it is other than scan #1, then the bet if off. Several legitimate Merkle CJ scans have been posted and should not be used for this exercise.
As promised, I owe you you $30 for the submission and can send you a check, but need your address to do that. If you like, we can settle up once the card is returned and all will be revealed.

I posted the card once is received it from the seller. It’s in a couple posts up (front and back pics) do I need to post it again? You think I might have 15 CJ Merkles laying around that I’d cut up to send off for grading just to win a bet? Lmao

No, I trust you sent the card to SGC that you posted images. Just I have been caught in a couple of bait and switch attempts and wanted to be careful. Let the chips fall where they may. I almost wish your card comes back with the scarlet letter to show how SGC's grading is currently degrading.
