At least the auction photo is large. Card is not a reprint. At least not a normal one. Things I look at on Goudey related card..... this Gehrig, the bat head, red "BIG LEAGUE" bar, and brown dirt all extend ever so slightly into the white border. Normal reprints will crop this photo edge area to avoid dots in the white border when reproducing the card. They then add a clean straight (usually too white) border (sometimes too wide because of original photo cropping) and a closely reproduced caption if needed (like on the T206 reprints with wrong font style/color). The only reprints/fakes that usually can fool are the homemade ones made from photos of real cards (inkjet printer specials).


Doesnt look trimmed to me, but the corners sure look sharp, but why not graded?????????? I usually dont have my cards graded, but If I had razor sharp Mint stuff like this Gehrig, I would surly have this one graded!!! Thats the only red flag I see, NOT GRADED!
