Hi, all. I'm Justin, and I've been reading the boards here a few weeks now, as I have begun to venture into some pre-war cards. I picked up this Gehrig recently, and I know some of the eye tests (Bat extending into the border, button on top of the hat, etc.), but I'm having a hard time distinguishing the dirt and red border because of the condition of the card. I thought I'd post here to see if some more trained eyes can give their two cents.

If those aren't sharp enough, here is a bucket with a few more detailed photos:

His bat extends into the border, the button on his hat is present, the color looks right to my untrained eye.

What do y'all think: real or fake?

Looks fine to me, half tone printing seems evident.

Thanks everyone! I felt so as well, but last night I was struck by one of those, "Are you sure?" feelings.
