1919 World Series Ticket - a Full and a FAKE

[Shoeless Moe]

I'm 99% sure this is no good.

1. Blank back. Everyone I've ever seen has printing on the back.
2. Not in the PSA Holder - looks like it was sent in and sent back due to questionable authenticty.
3. Corners cut, never seen one like that.
4. Could be a Proof, but PSA grades Proofs and note them as such and would have here if they thought that.

Anyone else have any concerns with it?

Ive never seen one that looks like this...nothing printed on the back and the print on the front is not crisp and clear...I will send the link to a guy who tried to collect ever image of 1919 WS tickets to see what he thinks.

This is the closest I could find of a complete ticket from a Cin game if you want to compare the corner of the left side that is always missing

here is a post from the person who is selling it asking opinions on it...claims passed down from his grandfather to father

Update - the person now claims the auction listing is not his ticket...when it is clearly the exact same ticket

stay far away from this one

Funny that the seller asks for opinions on how to sell it.

Wonder how in the world he came up with Block Auctions in Ferndale Michigan.

Hopefully he bids it up and gets stuck back with it, otherwise there is going to be one disappointed collector out there. Currently at $742, with 42 watchers, guessing it will go much higher. Never underestimate the uneducated.

Thanks all for the input.

also worth noting I have never seen a Game 1 ticket sell for $18k...or any 1919 WS ticket with a hole punch...

but a good question is if it is fake where did the full ticket example (the left side printing and format) come from???
