What do you think of this 1888 Goodwin Champions Bob Caruthers? It looks at least trimmed, but I don't know if it's authentic. The back looks interesting with some kind of overprint or bleeding.

The front looks fake.

Thanks. Anyone else?

front looks fake (too much contrast?), card stock looks too thin for the issue, and the back repetitive overprint thing might have something to do with the company that made this ??reprint??
Not 100% sure, but thats what I see in the bad picture

edited to say the back is also the wrong ink color

looks fake to me too...too grainy of a front and messed up back.

..not good, from the way the scan looks.

Here is a real N162 Caruthers for comparison.

The card in your scan looks like a reprint.
