T200 and T222 Fatimas are on thin paper, glossy on front (not on back) and often have surface cracks to the front. As the paper is paper thin, there won't be corner rounding as on thick cardstock cards. As already noted, Fatimas are real photographs on photo paper, with a tobacco ad printed on back.

Plus the stock on the above is waaay too dark and the wrong colors. Authentic Fatimas are usually sepia toned and a whole lot lighter. The dark maroon back with the gray front is not normal.

The tape on back is a nice touch, though.
