Default 1915 Sporting News Babe Ruth, original? Reprint? Fake?

Posted By: Tim Newcomb

rather than reprint. The space between the black border line and the photo is correct, which is the giveaway with the reprint sets. But a real card can always be duplicated... This one looks rather washed out and blurry from the scan.

If you actually have the card, I would suggest searching the board history for one of David Rudd's instructional posts on detecting recent reproductions. Under magnification, if the card has a "dot matrix" look, it's a recent repro. A loupe should tell the tale.
