What the fuck? Even if this trader didn't forge the card, isn't this the same as Mr. Clarkson's shit?

1. I found 14 auctions for blood upholsterers and 6 of them have the thick blood covering the phone number and 8 appear not to, tough to tell really though, the pictures are so small.stoutr wrote:I am in a quandry.

Oh Ian, why must you cast aspersions? I'm as close to a blood card expert as you will find. I may not have always been and we all learn new information all the time. And yes, if pressed, I'm sure I too could produce an undetectable fake. But to come on here and claim I'm not a blood card expert immediately puts dozens of collectors on heightened alert because I'd given them a solid "real" or "fake" designation in the past few years. Your reasoning may be sound, but that doesn't mean you're right.higherlimits wrote:
Ben isn't an expert on the blood cards, he wasn't around when they were made.. I'd say Ben is an expert on just about everything but for blood cards I'll say he's not for good reason. (I think he'd say my reasoning is sound..)

No, I guess I worded it wrong.. I don't mean to criticize you, and I hope you know that.subpopfan1 wrote:Oh Ian, why must you cast aspersions? I'm as close to a blood card expert as you will find.

Do you really have that many people asking you about blood cards?But to come on here and claim I'm not a blood card expert immediately puts dozens of collectors on heightened alert because I'd given them a solid "real" or "fake" designation in the past few years.
