I am assuming this is a fake but unlike the Goudey cards I know absolute zero about this set.
What are the tell-tales we should look for on cards like this?

One huge tell tale sign is that the Seller has 100% Perfect Feedback and is selling the card as a Reprint.

Tell tale signs: Clipped corners to mask non aged wear on corners. Coffee spill is always a good one too! Seller is selling as a reprint.

Peace, Mike

This seller has been selling a TON of unmarked reprint cards. People have spent a decent chunk of change on some of his reprints... I don't know if it was the same seller, but I saw a couple of Clemente RCs go in the 100s and 300s if I remember correctly!!!

that's big money for a reprint :(
I think I gave thirty bucks for all 80 of Larry F's OJ reprint series.
