Didn't Bruce get involved with some sort of paper analysis on the minty whites?  I seem to recall that they showed that the paper used had ingredients that weren't present in papers of the 1980s.

I think it may have been Todd from MPGrading...


EDIT: Here is the presentation from a few years back... click towards the end for the results of the minty white analyses.

With carbon dating there is always a +/- error of several years - usually like 50-100+ from what I have read.  As such, even if it could be done, carbon dating something so recent as supposedly stemming from the 70s or 80s would fall within that +/- acceptable date range margin of error and thus prove invalid anyways...

Carbon dating is much more useful for ancient artifacts/remains etc where the margin of error is much more appropriate to define a range and the exact date does not need to be pinpointed

Those fake/bootleg inserts are so easy to spot.  If you've handled many real ones it's not even close.  On the fakes the paper is even glossy on the backside.  Most of them are cropped, too.  I feel so bad when I check the eBay sales history and see people buying up fake inserts from these con artists.  It's so sad.

Gotta love it. And the poster lean on works so well, too. Very authoritative.  ;D

Just out of curiosity am I the only one who does not even believe the beard and hair on him? Looks like a bad makeup job to me.

Mike, the other pics that clearly show his ponytail are the dead giveaways.

Have you never seen those? They are priceless.  ;D

No, can;t keep myself on the sit long enough to look through much of it. Makes me want to puke reading the BS.

It's better to just embrace and enjoy the obvious lack of authenticity - kind of like Las Vegas

But it's more fun to wonder how he kept his skin so nice for 65+ actually 77 years, not a single wrinkle. He could get rich off that alone! I should email him for his secret even his hands haven't aged a day.

On second thought I am going to ask him a question about one of his posters but I think I will do it through E-Bay but direct it to Powers and see what he responds with. Might be fun.
