What is on my new Gehrig Jersey card?

[gomatt]

Bought this recently for my 2007 Sweet Spot Classic set. I have always loved Jersey cards that actually appear to be Game USED. Not sure if this is blood or tobacco. Thoughts?

Kinda looks like tobacco spit

Sorry, I wiped myself with it before I inserted the swatch.

I would suggest it is blood.. I have seen other game used cards that had blood on them as well.. (Ted Williams, Ty Cobb)

Either way it's a unique GU card..

Wasn't sure if anyone had any knowledge on what 75 year old blood, baccer, or poo would look like...

It doesn't stink like the Jason Williams swampass card that someone had back on the old Beckett boards, does it?

 

[gomatt]

Swampass?

I haven't smelled it yet.

Give it a sniff will ya. (if in hand)

Any chance it's ink? Companies have put signed items in before, and parts of the auto have popped up as swatches.

Is the card blurred like that by UD(left sleeve)?

Does that honestly look like part of a signature to you?


And I don't think even UD is dumb enough to buy/cut up a Gehrig auto'ed jsy into their products (if one even exists?)

Impressive Eric. That was my thought as well.

That said, stay away from the swatch.

Visit your local crime lab and they can put some clear dye on it for you. Once the swatch turns purple, you'll know its blood.

Agreed scotty21690 but why is his left sleeve blurred out?

One does exist....Just ask Chumlee.

I don't see corn or peanut fragments, so I say it's blood.
