Default Opinions please if this Ruth is real?

Any opinions good or bad would be appreciated. My initial thoughts was that the abundance of wrinkles seemed off and overall I did not have a great feeling. Thanks in advance for your thoughts , good or bad!

Peace, Mike

If it is real that would be one of the all-time best centered #181's out there, red flag.

100% wrong - color, sheen, paper, red box on the front, looks like reprint was erased on the back too. I wouldn't even take a chance on it for $5 (and I like to take chances).

That scuffed area on the back is exactly where the word 'reprint' was printed on a frequently seen group of Goudey reprints.

That particular area of back damage is usually the nail in the 'is it legit' coffin for a suspect Goudey, especially in conjunction with the gut feeling that tells you that the card is just not quite right.

can I assume that the info on the back was always printed in green ?
As opposed to black ? For this card.

Horrible attempt to make a Renata Galasso reprint look real. Sadly, this garbage is all over ebay with those BS 'must list as a reprint but you decide' listings. I can't believe that people pay real money for these, which is of course why it keeps happening. I was away from the hobby for 8 or 9 years, and was very surprised to see this all over ebay when I came back last year. I just don't remember seeing this previously, especially where people are paying into the $100's of dollars for this crap when it's openly listed as a reprint.
