Default Is this 33 Delong Gerhig Real?

Hello everyone the seller of this card has offered it to me at a good price but I am wondering if it is real as it is not graded. The seller is not a board member as far as I know, so I wanted to get the boards opinion. Here are the pics the seller provided. Thanks for the help.

Default Not Authentic

I'd stay away.

I thought it looked a bit wrong but I wanted to get a confirmation second opinion.

I have this card and this one you show looks yellowed around the edges and back too much. At first I thought the yellow might be the picture exposure but my son pointed out the sticker on the case is very white.

I'm not saying its fake but for a card of this caliber I would really want to make sure of its authenticity before pulling the trigger.

I would probably ask the seller if that yellowish tint is a part of card or a result of the camera. If it is a camera issue I would ask if he could take a new pic. If that yellow tint is part of the card I would steer clear.

Fake. The borders are way too large. Check out any scan of a PSA or SGC graded copy and you'll see that the borders are much thinner on an authentic copy.

Good luck with your collection, but on this card I'd steer clear.

Default can't tell for sure but....

I can't tell for sure but the corners look to be too even and worn. Generally that much wear would result in more fibers being shown. This one looks like it has manufactured corner wear, to me, but maybe it's just me . The colors look a bit off too.....

white borders are too wide, image cropped. I believe this is also the type with the dark blue ink back (authentic cards have black ink)

Looks strange to me. Here is one pulled from the pack by Lionel Carter in 1933 for comparison. Blue and other colors look off in your example.

Look's to me like the OP's Delong has a bit of unnatural wear right in the area where the Galasso (?) reprints say "reprint":

The back spot where reprint would be on one is quite suspicious, but I did want to point out that the yellowing COULD be from the case it's in. I have had a number of cases yellow over time, some turning almost a dark orange. I always wondered about why some would do that (I guessed maybe they were exposed to cigarette smoke?? before I bought the cards), but that is another topic all together.
