your opinion, real or fake Ruth card
Had it a long time. I know the autographing is not authentic but is the card real ?
Space between Ruth's cap and border misaligned at bottom right border red color obvious on back If it's real, great, if not I still like it. Thanks.

The card itself is fake.

One telltale sign that the card is fake: the surfaces are beat to hell, but the corners are fairly sharp. This does not compute. The wear also looks artificial. You see enough beat up cards and you will get an idea of normal wear and tear (sometimes literally).
Now the signature.... that would be up to the experts at JSA.

Here's a link to the real card. It was auctioned by REA in 2013.
