Default Authenticity of These 1915 Cracker Jack Cards on eBay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/280734108538...#ht_500wt_1361

Is this card authentic? The seller has about 8 more of these for sale.

Just my opinion. Color and border looks off. Tell tale sign is that back of a REAL 1915 CJ needs to be flipped over to read it right side up. The words 'Chicago Office' indicate the 1915 variety which could be redeemed. In the Cardsaver back scans provided you can read it even though it's not flipped over indicating this is a reprint. Reprints for the CJ's come up it seems once a week on ebay.

I say reprints.

Look at some of the other crappy pictures of the CJ's they have for sale in the toploaders - they all appear to have 1915 backs.

The backs of authentic 1915 CJ's should be upside down (which means the toploaders should be rotated to be able to read the reverse).

Thought I'd add my two cents as well I'd say reprint, the color is off and the font of his name on the bottom always seems to give them away.

This description does not instill much confidence either:

"For sale is what I believe to be an orignal Cracker Jack Baseball Card Number 133 Branch Rickey Manager of the St. Louis American League Team. . Please look before you bid e-mail with any questions. No returns Payment by Paypal only. Thank you for looking."
