Hey Greg
Hey Greg
I have come to the conclusion that most times, for me, it is too hard to tell if a good reproduction Fro-Joy is real or fake from a scan. Also, the head grader of BVG and I, have a theory that these cards and the Babe Ruth Candy cards might have been originally printed on different kinds of paper stocks. There are absolutely a small percentage that he and I feel are not going to be 100% either way. (of course they are one way or the other but we can't be positive) Those are ones they will not slab either. From the scan it looks sort of ok but I don't like the aging look of the paper. Definitely too hard to tell that one from a scan and maybe even in person. One thing to check is to see if the paper feels like 80 yr old paper when you rub it between your fingers. If it is course it's not a good sign. If smooth it's a better sign.
