Broadsides: Ruth, Gehrig, Mathewson & more, Are they good?
 
I was looking at some auctions in my area and found the listing below. Any thoughts on the authenticity of these? Its about a three hour drive for me and was contemplating making the trip...

Save the gas money. Although very difficult to tell from the pics....all are well known to be highly reproduced.

Correct. And there is more garbage in Ohio floating around on Ebay, love the sellers who have the Private bidders, one of the biggest red flags of a bad seller:

I called and talked to the auctioneer (who was very nice and helpful) and, he believes that they are all repros himself. He did send additional images of the Dogs Head poster and I believe that they are all repros as well (not that I am an expert by any means). I actually own an authentic Matty "Won in the Ninth" poster and the one in this auction is a horrible repro of it.

I got burnt on one of those Satch posters you posted Greg. Thanks for the info guys.

Acofind is located in Muncie, In. Myjunk66 and another seller in Ohio sell similar items that are, questionable, at the very least.
