Guys, I'm not sure and I'll admit my ignorance. I know cards, but Pinkertons....you decide if it's an original (I know. I know. I'm leaving myself open to comment :D).

it's legit IMHO. Here's an example from one sold at Goldin.

https://goldinauctions.com/1913_15_Pinkerton_Postcards__159_Ty_Cobb__Blank_Ba-LOT14118.aspx

It's a 1913-15 Pinkerton Postcard (even though they are usually blank back).

I was the first bidder (at $10). I expected it to sell for more than it did ($360ish), but it does have a pretty glaring imperfection :D

It looks original to me, but what do I know....? Don't own these anymore but have some others...I think Wags was blank backed but not sure..

Definitely looks good to me. Here's mine, very similar:

I believe it is legit as well. I corresponded with the seller quite a bit (nice guy). He bought a box of 150 random postcards for a very low price at an estate sale and this was in there. He was thrilled just with the interest in it and didn’t care what it sold for. Refreshing.

I concur, it is legitimate. The crease was the only thing that kept me away.
