Thanks for sharing with us John. I would 100% say you cannot depend on the grading companies like so many people in not only this hobby but this community do. Same thing goes for Autographs. Autos are tough. Unless you got that item or card signed by that person in person there is never a 100% guarantee that the autograph is real. I try and do a bunch of research and comparison when i get the Autograph of tougher autos. I would hope people do enough research with cards like the Brown as well. Enjoyed.
Great tip John. Absolutely agree, if you come across a rare or scarce card, it’s best to do some research on it before buying. You can’t always trust the grading company. There is a rare 1910 Morton’s pennant on eBay psa labeled as Sam Crawford. Looking at it I could tell that’s not Sam. Doing some research I found out it’s actually Claude Rossman. But psa got it wrong. I kind of want to email the seller and ask if he will discount it because the label is wrong. Still a rare cool piece.
Nice detective work John. I didn’t think it looked like Mordecai Brown. I told Aaron it might be a photo of Babe Adams mislabeled who played for your Pittsburg Pirates.
You put out a video earlier that showed a eBay seller who was selling a fake card, and I was looking for a card today and just happened to run across the card I was looking for at a great price, and after looking at the card it's fake. Want to guess who the seller is? Well eBay should take down all their cards until they fix the problem. Very glad you did a video on them I believe earlier today or I would of been buying a fake card.
That’s the third one in as many weeks. Someone over there who don’t know cards must have bought a bogus collection or something. It’s really unacceptable.
Great research Mr President, Sir! It's not just the grading services, some of the auction houses don't know what they are selling. I got into it with a Greg Manning person on email. Do we call you Esquire, or Your Honor or something now?
Another possibility could be that the owner of the card wrote the wrong name on his card submission & someone at SGC didn't bother to look up to see if this was the correct info......
Thats actually 4 Fingers Brown. No relation to Mordecai, but he always insisted that the thumb is not a finger. Thats a pretty dumb mistake by SGC honestly.
This was very helpful. I’m guilty of clicking and buying. I really need to my due diligence on what I’m purchasing. Thank you.
Thx John. We can all learn something. Cheers.

Thank you for sharing
Investigative journalism at its finest, Mr. President! Certainly can't trust everything the companies do. I honestly like the nickname Boardwalk. lol
Me too
Thanks for sharing, John. It’s still a cool card, but like you said, there’s a big difference depending on which Brown it is
Right. But yes still a cool card.
It’s stuff like this that makes me proud to call you my president!
Haha thanks
Great educational vid. I tip my cap to you on this one John. Awesome job!
Thanks
That’s some good research, John. SGC or any grading company needs to hire you as a consultant…I’m serious!
Would be fun to have a job in the card hobby.
@ the companies would line up to hire you!

Yea autos are impossible to know for sure. They shouldn’t even authenticate but they won’t give up that money.
Great catch John. Just goes to show you, the grading companies aren’t always right.
Thanks for sharing, John, and providing your expertise regarding items like this. Really have to do your research before you purchase cards, etc.
John- Thank you for this video. I cannot speak for everyone, but your videos, especially in this case, are invaluable to all of us in the hobby.
Thanks

Yea after the sale of this one I messaged the seller. Apparently he didn’t want to be stand up and let the buyer know.
Great Q, nuanced answer but not always!
Wow! Thanks for this! Appreciate the education.
Hi John, great work on making that identification. I can see where people can make that type of mistake. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
60% of the time, they're right every time.
Haha
SGC has to do a better job.
I trust that they will take my money first time every time!
Gave a video like. Not all Browns are the same, haha. I get mistakes happen and all. Good reminder to do your own due diligence as well.
Don’t get me started on both SGC and PSA messing up Harry and Matty McIntyre.
The tiniest bit of research would educate them. They won’t do it.
Well kick me in the ass and call me Sally, I thought this was Chuck Brown, also known as Charlie. Thanks for the clarification.

That’s true. Could have been. From now on I’m writing Babe Ruth on all my submissions haha

Hahaha
Boardwalk Brown, is a pretty cool name but, not as bad ass as having 3 fingers!
Still a very cool and rare card.
nice card
It is a really nice card.
No.
Haha man of few words
No doubt the grading cards make mistakes.
Amazing work man. Great respect for your knowledge. BTW, i have 6 fingers so you can call me... 6 finger Stew!
Haha ok! Thanks
