Thoughts on the 1954 Johnston Cookie Mathews?
 
Don’t look right to me. Looks like somebody tried really hard to make it look “old.”

Rebacked?

Seller also doesn't put much effort into getting the item details right, so it could get rejected if it goes to authenticity guarantee.

Ha, I just saw that listing 10 minutes ago and had the same reaction.

The "stains" seller mentions look to me like some layering along the card edges - don't know what exactly would cause that, but seller has another '54 Johnston card for sale with similar layering. That one is Trainer Joe Taylor, and I have to think that faked cards would likely be players, not the team trainer. Seller has 100% positive rating on more than 6K reviews, so probably on the level, but you don't know where that card has been for the past 71 years, eh?
