The only value they had was making the resale of your comic impossible if you cut them out.

First book up I got back from @CGCComics - happy with it overall and did better than expected. Got from my buddy Todd.

Happy belated 99th birthday to Bobby Shantz!
It was yesterday, but I was a little distracted with a hurricane.

What's the rarest #T206 back you have owned or held in hand?
Ever seen this one? An Old Mill Southern League in brown ink.
I've seen a handful of altered & fake OM SL brown backs but this is only the 2nd authentic example I have handled and the 2nd rarest back I've authenticated.

Counterfeit Card Alert: 2016 BBM Icons Speed #04 Shohei Ohtani 🚨
As one of the faces of the league and one of the greatest players of his generation, Ohtani’s collectibles already come at a premium! 📈 His sports cards and signed memorabilia are some of the most valuable items of any modern sports star today. So, it is no surprise that counterfeiters would create fake versions of his collectibles to profit off them. 👀 That’s the case with a submission that came through the CGC Cards grading room that pre-dates Ohtani’s MLB career and is one of the earlier cards from his pro career in Japan: a 2016 BBM Icons Speed #04 Shohei Ohtani.
As you scroll through this post, you’ll see two examples: images of an authentic and counterfeit example of a 2016 BBM Icons Speed #04 Shohei Ohtani card. 🔍 Head over to cgccards.com/news/article/13… to see the breakdown of which one is counterfeit and how the CGC Cards graders came to the official determination! ✅
