Authentic..... or a photocopy of an authentic card.

Its not one of the reprints.

The back is easy to tell for 100%

The card is obviously graded. You have doubts though?

I'll keep my comments to myself until the auction is closed!

Looking at the picture and zooming in, I thought I saw writing on the bottom left? Maybe I am just seeing things? I appreciate your opinions and am more likely to bid on it now. Your expertise is always appreciated!

Babe certainly looks like he was in a foul mood in that picture. Perhaps the clubhouse bartender had cut him off...

[GrayGhost]

Yeah, what is that in lower left, maybe something on Babe's jacket he's wearing?

Grabbed this image from an old Leland auction.

Not sure if it helps. The only thing I can see different is the second stick of the "N" on Leland's has a notch out, or some kind of dark spot.

I'm not saying one way or the other... 2 concerns. It seems a bit too dark, and that may well not be a problem. And, below the dotted cut line it seems too bright, and that is a bit more troubling. It may well be ok.

Well, regardless of whether the card is real or not at least we know that it will be offered for 25% off in the days following the auction.

I owned this card. Sold it to a well known dealer at the National in Clevelend. Looks like it found its way to Bill.
Card was previously in a PSA 5 holder. I had some concerns about it so I crossed it over to SGC who gave it a 60.
So then; if it is not "real" it has fooled both of these grading services.
It's real. Overgraded? Perhaps, but real to be sure.
