Default 1915 Sporting News Babe Ruth, original? Reprint? Fake?

Posted By: Joann

I vote real. Probably incorrectly, but I still vote real.

The gap between the black border and edge of image is about the same in both.

The same amount of foot shows relative to the right border in both cards.

Same amount of space between foot and bottom border.

There is a break in the border at the lower left corner on both cards.

I'm trying to remember where I got these "tells" from - maybe Pete Calderon's web site? I'm not sure, but for those items both scans look the same.

So I'm probably missing something, or maybe the info I have only applies to one kind of reprint. But I'd go with real.

ETA - just checked PC's web site and don't see anything about these cards. So now I really don't remember where I got it from.
