User says, Yes it's real!!
User says this is real. What do you think? (I voted not real but actually it could be a really bad scan).....so I would change my vote to "can't tell" from scan.....What a crappy scan!! :(

Well, his spelling and grammer sure are superb.
|
looks real to me...maybe trimmed...but real.
|
I am not sure on this one. The scan is awful. The thing that jumped out is the Cub...it looks too close to the gold border. Reprints of T205s are often cropped wrong like this and the gold border is extra wide. I think this might be a reprint that was trimmed but without better scans or seeing it in person, I just can't be sure.

Real, bad scan
|
I say it's not real, the white around the borders on front is too uniform across the top and down the sides. It would be amazing for a card to wear down like that, so I think it isn't wear, it was just a bad scan of a decent xerox reprint. I would like to hear from people that think it is real and are also willing to bid on it knowing there are no returns
|
Tough to tell from the scans provided, but I'd say not real. Check out the Cubs logo in both images.

Just look at the other items this person has sold. Not sure he would know a real one from a fake anyway.

It's often hard to authenticate anything from a scan, and harder still from a very blurry one. It looks funky but it could in fact just be the scan. I'm undecided. |
Looks like those red hindu, broadleaf, drum & uzit T206 reprints.

I can't tell from the scan and I have a feeling that's by design. Just look at how clear the scans are on the new shiney cards he has sold recently.
|
Fake as hell. The borders never wear like that and the bs k is void of staining from tobacco pieces since its a pb back.
|
I stand by rule 1 of ebay buying. If the seller has equal or greater than five errors in their item description I stay avoid bidding.
|
If the seller knows how to create a good clear scan for some cards and then drops a HOF T205 scan all blurry like this then he is obviously trying to hide something.

When someone says it was given to me in 1983 that makes me think it is fake. Too much detail. I'm surprised it wasn't also his grandpa's.
|
Artificial wear around edges. Cropped inner image. Fake.
|
The distance from his left ear to the gold border is quite narrower. Same can be said with the space between the cub figure in the left upper corner and the border.
The beginning of the "M" in Mordecai is also cut of by the left border. Along with other reasons pointed out by other members, it was easy voting "not real". Jantz |
Grading does coast alot.
Reprint, but I feel he or she may not be aware and is not trying to deliver the shaft to someone. |

Definitely not real. I had stumbled upon this one, and immediately passed over it. Two things stood out: the facial features (there is a different tint on the reprints that stands out to me), and the Cubs logo.
|
fake
it has all the signs of a fake. I'm at 99.999% sure its fake. i am honestly a little sad so many voted real. i hope non of you rip grading services if you voted real.

Im very dissppointed...in myself!:(
