Need Help from the Experts: 1928 Ruth Fro-Joy Authenticity

[whitehse]

I think the Fro-Joy uncut sheet has taken it's toll on many of us. I remember buying one in the 80's and I still have it because somewhere in my mind I refuse to believe it is fake despite the overwhelming evidence that it is indeed fake. I have thought about making it a cool display piece to hang on the wall but that would only remind me of the 20 bucks I blew buying this thing.

Oh yes it has. I remember back in the 1980's when I though my college was paid for because I found a Fro-Joy uncut sheet but unlike everyone else who had the simple B&W ones... well mine was in color! Sigh...

Might not have helped pay for college but I did learn a lesson.

I have two different guys try and consign the color ones. Don't feel bad Pete!

Elm, we need a new dictionary entry for the Fandango FroJoys.

Faux-Joy
The sick elation felt by scammers when they’re able to fool a collector into believing their artificial reprint is, in fact, a legitimate 1928 Fro-Joy Babe Ruth card.
