Default 1949 Bowman Jackie Roninson - Real or Fake?
I think it's fake, but I don't want to disclose why so as not to sway other opinions. I would appreciate your thoughts as to whether you think it's real or fake (and, if so, why)? Thanks!

This card is the exact reason why if I buy high end vintage, I buy graded. I would not be able to tell

Fwiw I don’t think it looks good. It seems artificially aged and the pixelation around his face looks a bit wrong. I’m not 100% certain though. It’s a free opinion in any event.

I don't like the look of the edges on all 4 sides, not to mention the back seems artificially aged. I vote not genuine.

I vote fake as well; it seems artificially aged, and the illustration just doesn't look right to me.

If it helps the effort, I cobbled together four different graded versions from eBay for comparison purposes...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
