T213. Tough card. Approaching rare. Either it is real or a homemade copy from a real card. Seems legit but hard to tell without having it in hand.

Ask for a much clearer scan. The back looks like a home-made fake, especially that lower right-hand corner - doesn't look natural. If you had it in hand, you could tell in 3 seconds.

Those pics are just grainy enough that it could go either way...

I agree with Scott. The middle wrinkles look a lot the aged reproductions that were selling on eBay a few months ago...I've never seen wrinkles exactly like that on a legit tobacco card. Edges don't look right either...but hey, I could be wrong

The wrinkles are consistent with a reproduction. I bet if you hold it to even a dim light you can see the opposing side image easily. The darkness around the edges is consistent with someone attempting to give the card an aged appearance. Doesn't look good to me.
