Okay, I can play this game, plus it's educational. Technically, I'm not outing this auction, since it has a "buy-it-now" price. A fake T206 Breshnahan? Looks good at first glance and has the correct back, but the color on the name is way too dark. Could be the scan, but I wouldn't count on it.

I've never seen one either. Perhaps, some of the experts can "chirp" in on this one. Is it real or is it memorex???

The way I see it......The T206 Bresnahan is authentic and the 2 R319 Ruths are reprints.

The color of the caption on the T206 card looks black but I think its just scanner setting.

The R319 Ruths both have the photo part of the front cropped. On the #144 card the hat and The "G" in George are too close to the border. The same with the other Ruth, the top of the hat and the elbow were cropped when they designed the reprint.
