Default Fake or Real-Babe Ruth Card

Seen this on ebay. Story sounds legit but card looks artificially aged to me.

You do not want to buy that card.

If you have an agreement with the seller that he will accept a return if it doesn't grade or if it is deemed not authentic (a black light should do it) then you might put in a bid. I think it would not grade and you're buying a hassle on trying to get your money back.

That thread was very informative. It should be easy to search for.

This artificially aged reprint looks eerily similar to one i saw at the Houston Tristar show. It was situated next to an artificially aged reprint of a Ruth M101-5 Sporting News.....

Looks to be a reprint. There are many issues with the San Fran backs if I remember correctly most if not all are reprints along with the size of the number being to small compared to the real ones. Just my 2 cents.
