Card looks good, I think the seller tweeked the color saturation on the scan a bit.
the first spots I look at is the edge of the image, on this R320 Gehrig, most reprints will have the image cropped slightly.. the edges of image will be straight, and also the bottom blue line below the small portrait will be thinner or missing along with the bottom of the "y" in "Says".
your card has the colors slightly misaligned along the edges (good), see the blue lines on left side go into the border, same with the end of bat, and also the green on the right side. the only thing thats funny is the top of the hat is ever so slightly closer to the border compared to the slabbed card, but this may just be because the blue is off registered a bit.
on the harder fakes to ID, the home made ones made using a scan of an authentic card, they could never get the card stock to look this thick, and the wear so good, especially the broken paper crease damage on front or corner wear too.
