I am not an expert in CJs, but the context of the post is everything. A thread started about a very expensive/classic card asking for a price is almost universally a signal that the card being asked about is fake.
"How much is my beater T206 Wagner worth?"
The fact that it looks artificially aged by dirt, rounded corners, and "pin" holes adds to the likelihood of the card being a fake.
Although the OP did not seem to be in it for the money, most of these posts are designed to pick up emails offering money for reprints.
