Default fake?

One of the telltale signs of fake Goudeys is the copyright logo on the front. Check out the graded cards on ebay and you will see that the printing on the logo is very sharp and very fine. Most of the fakes have thicker, uneven lines on the logo. From your photos, the logo looks like a fake to me.

The word reprint is usually located on the back, between Goudey Gum Co. and Boston. Usually that area of a fake is rubbed out. I don't see that on yours. Without holding the card in my hand, I'm not sure. The front looks fake and the back looks like it might be good.

The copyright logo on the back is also an area to check for fakes, but the bottom 3/8" of your card is gone.
