1933 Goudey card: Real or not?
 

Thoughts?

Real- notice how at the top of the card there is actually a little yellow color coming from the bat that bleeds into the border. Not sure that i have seen a reprint with that characteristic.

its a picture of a card. look at the front, its a card with another plain white border around it. The back was printed onto this picture, notice the back borders are way way too wide.

I thought the other white was just a back drop for the card for pic purposes

The characteristics look decent enough.

One thing... Is the card printed on, or placed atop the sheet of white paper? I ask, Cuz the back photo isn't.

Frank- good pick up on the back of the card

its a strange reprint, never seen one like.

Frank nailed it. Looking at the image itself (without the white border), it looked promising. Given that it is on white paper, it's bogus.

I seemingly can't stress enough how risky it is buy raw Goudeys of Ruth & Gehrig. There are more different kinds of counterfeits of these cards then perhaps any other card out there and for some of them it is incredibly difficult to tell from a scan.
I've been collecting for many years, have a high threshold for taking risks when it comes to buying cards and I would never buy a raw Goudey Ruth or Gehrig from someone I didn't know over the internet.

Matt...very well said.

Only buy raw Ruth's or Gehrig's from reputable sellers.

Franks got a good point about the back border of the card - there is just too much border side to side and top to bottom.

And it's missing the red bleed-through.
