"Absolutely, they were much harder and even the experts thought many of the Gleason, Andy Griffith, Tony Randall, Tony Curtis secretarial etc. were legitimate. That is why so many have TPA certification. In the mid-1970s an old collector…"
"I'm sure. I started to catch on to something in 1984 but I did not know what. Not until 2012 was it known, and to me when I re-started collecting in 2016 or 2015.That is why I started weeding them out and then figuring out who did them by name…"
"Is that almost all sets of four contain a secretarial Gleason so it is not unexpected.There are perhaps thousands of certified secerarials and forgeries of the same with the sticker on the front. That is a problem. Under the "The…"

"Would you care to share an image of it? Probably it could be determined quickly about Gleason."
