It is indeed interesting.
And if they have the right skills and knowledge it could have helped
if they started two years.
But, I still can't get over that someone seemingly had everything at
their disposal and still missed one fake in particular.
Correct me if this is account is inaccurate, but if you strip the
false front from a Window Card back, to improve and replace the back,
and you've years of experience of handling paper, how can you miss it?
I'm not hinting anything untoward, I just still can't understand it.
And if they couldn't spot that one, what level of skills and knowledge
are required for us to rely on anyone to prevent any possible next
generation?
Cheers,
Richard

For a long time now, 3rd party grading has been rumored to be "just
around the corner", "coming soon" and sometimes "never will happen".
Well that day is finally upon us for better or worse (though I can't
help but wonder if it had been here even two years ago would
collectors have saved literally millions of dollars and maybe the
"Universal Horror Fakes" fiasco might have been over as soon as it
started.)
CGC (Certified Grading Company - the people who have been grading
comics for over a decade) has recently begun limited certification
of lobby cards to test the market and the first examples will be
offered at the upcoming Heritage Signature Auction in July.
Although no photos are on Heritage's site yet, there are two
listings for complete lobby sets (Let It Be, and All The King's Men)
that have been CGC graded/certified.
It will be very interesting to see how these are accepted in the
marketplace.
