Default are these authentic cards ?
Posted By: David Smith

The no. 144 Ruth looks like it might have had "reprint" erased from under the words "Indian Gum" on the back while the no. 181 Ruth looks like it might have had "reprint" whited out from after the words "Goudey Gum Co." on the back.

All I know is that these cards better not show up on eBay being represented and guaranteed as 100% original, saying they were found in Grand Pa's attic (or any other dead relative for that matter) or have "God bless" anywhere in the listing. Because if they do, they will SURELY be reported as fakes and THIS post will be referenced.
