Wasted $120 on a 19th century map that was a total fake
Bought what I thought was an 1850s map of Ohio from a dealer in Cincinnati. Turned out it was a modern print someone aged with tea and coffee stains. Lost $120 because I didn't check the paper grain under a loupe. Anyone else get burned by fake antique maps before?

Dang, my buddy bought a "civil war letter" that was printed on a laser jet.

Did he check the paper for a watermark or manufacturer mark from the 1990s?
