Opinions: Fro-Joy Premium

Greg, did you illuminate it with uv light, a black light?

Hey Frank,

I don't have a black light. But if you have one, please PM your address, and I will send it. There will not be any problems with it. There's more information on page 5 of this thread: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...=131343&page=5

Also, just so you are aware, if PSA or SGC does find that the card is altered you will get the same “Questionable Authenticity” response from them that we gave.

Thanks,

BGS

You could buy your own black light for a bit more than would be spent on postage sending it forth and back. But I'll send the address if you want. If it isn't going to fluoresce when illuminated with uv light, and if it is a fake, then whoever made it used old paper... I think sometimes old paper is gleaned from the endpapers of old books. Everyone here should have a black light.

Thanks Frank,

I'm attempting to authenticate this third party anyway but will pick one up for any other use.

The card is authentic. I'm not as knowledgeable as most people here, and I'm aware of that. I've received a few counterfeit Ruth cards in the past and put them on this forum for everyone to confirm so I could get my money back. I never questioned the authenticity of this card like the other few, and still didn't question the authenticity when Beckett returned it ? authenticity/altered.

I don't recall seeing any Goudey Premium counterfeits, any Butterfinger counterfeits, any Fro Joy Premium counterfeits, etc. The bigger it is; the less valuable it is. And I would guess the bigger it is; the harder it is to counterfeit.

I'll do whatever y'all think needs to be done. I appreciate your time.

"I think sometimes old paper is gleaned from the endpapers of old books."

It's old cardboard.

On 2-4-2011, I used a black light and photographed the Fro Joy Premium with a counterfeit Fro Joy card that I mentioned in another thread on top of the premium.
