Default Bath Ruth/Cobb Find. Need Your Opinion

For the “why”, anytime you see that crackling effect it means someone has used a brown liquid like tea or coffee to give the appearance of aging/toning.

The Wagner is just it’s own thing that’s bright white with sharp corners that you wouldn’t see on a card like that and the printing looks terrible.

The Cobb has the crackling and the perimeter wear just isn’t honest, card perimeters don’t wear like that over the course of 100 years. That kind of wear happens over the course of 5 minutes.
