The thing about HBO is that they are familiar with with sports memorabilia fakes,
and have used the services of PSA/DNA, GAI and Richard Simon for autographs.
If there is a show on this card, HBO likely will have PSA, SGC and GAI all
exaimine the card. HBO wasn't born yesterday as far as fakes and forgeries go,
and can tell the difference from Donald Frangipani and Global Authentication.
I don't see how they wouldn't have a legitimate expert give opinion on the card.

There is a reasonable chance that HBO already believes the card is a fake, which
is why they are doing the story. As noted, they have don't exposes of fakes
and fakers in the past. There's no reason to believe this story won't be
different.

HBO will know the difference between Bill Mastro (who has called the card a
reprint) and someone who mispelled the colleges he went to on his resume.
