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

Posted By: Russ

Personally, I'm inclined to think that it is bogus. First, the image is very grainy. The few legit cards I've seen from this era were much crisper, more photographic in quality. Second, and perhaps most important, the owner bought it on eBay for $700. Seems to me that if a seller is unloading a card like this ungraded, there is likely a reason.

BTW, I should note that I'm a coin guy not a card guy. So I know about as much about this stuff as Bill Clinton knows about marital fidelity.
