Default which ruth is real and which is fake?

Posted By: Kevin Saucier

Easy!

The top is real. The type on back is the right color and boldness with minimum space on the bottom border. The aged back is worn as it should be...not a chipped undercoat. The background color and picture of Ruth is strong and appropriate with close printing.


Bottom card:
The type on the back is too light and there is way too much space on the bottom...that where the "reprint" line goes. The back edge/borders shows an off (dark) color and are chipping which means it was not not letter-pressed but coated (dead give-away). The pic on front is weak, print is blury and the background color is wrong.

I could keep going
