Yeah, it just looks "wrong" ...........

Whatever printer they used did a decent job of the tiny ALC print at the bottom center. I wish mine did anywhere near that nice on anything.

I still get a kick out of the Gangs of New York-like donnybrook going on the background of this card while Mr. Mathewson rests comfortably in his garters...

It also makes me appreciate modern elastic cotton socks.

Possible reasons for voting real
1. Hoping to sell it to someone on N54
2. They also own the blue eyed Wagner T206 and will do a paper analysis on the Garter Matty to prove its old.

This is the one on ebay right now, sitting at $228

Shady scumbags in the hobby? No, I refuse to believe that.

The winning bidder looks legit. Some of those under-bidders do not. One or more appears to be a shill account.

And there's no question that the Boston Garter is 100% fake.

General rule of thumb: if a $100k + card is ungraded there's a reason for it. It's a terrible reprint as well

The 4 people who thought this was real need a bit of remedial training. :eek:
