real or fake?? Babe ruth
|
The colors look way too dark based on the condition of the card. The back of the card has dark font that looks fake as well. I am saying 100% no good!

Fake

Don't like it for a number of reasons. The stock looks funny/thin and the distress pattern looks too systematic and calculated. Colors look funny, but that could be the scan or a post scan adjustment. Wouldn't touch.

Real back versus card on Ebay back
|
looks like one of those crappy dover reprints...back is way too white...colors on front all wrong...I'm guessing stock is/was glossy at some time.
|
Seller has a PSA graded Mantle and an SGC graded (authentic) T206. If this Ruth were real then why not have it graded?

Is this one real? No.

It's crazy to see this card is over $200.00 right now !!! :eek: Wow.
|
There are cases to be made nearly every day; easy ones.

I've found that the easiest way to recognize a fake is to look at the line that makes up the left side of his hat. On fake versions, the line is cropped and never fully curves.

Doesn't look right, the fading isn't even (consistent with sun damage), doesn't look like any other type of damage (water, etc.) and the paper stock looks strange.
