Default Is this Chance real???

https://www.ebay.com/itm/266392286884

Hi All,

Would appreciate your insight on this. I'm building a low end T206 set and need this card (link above)...but his name and the outline look a litte sketchy to me.

Is this card legit, or did it maybe take a trip to a doctor before being offered for sale???

Thank you in advance for your insights!!!

Kindest regards,

JT

I see the caption issue, but I think this a scanner thing and the card is fine.

Hi John, I think this one is a fake... a little surprised to see a fake Chance out there, but there are just a lot of issues with this one IMO. "CUBS" on the jersey is way too bold, the font for his name is also too bold, the print lines running through his face and jersey, the general outline of him looks nothing like I've seen on other t206's, etc.

I'd like to see what some of the T206 experts on here (I'm not one of them) think about it. I'd run from this card though.

I wish I could say for sure it was fake because then I could have posted "no chance". As it is, I will leave it to the experts.

There’s a Chance it’s real, and a better Chance it’s fake!

You are thinking the same way I'm thinking..I see the same issues...but again, I defer to the group as I still consider myself a beginner with this set

I’ve handled thousands. As many here have as well. Im 99.999999% positive it’s fine. I think it’s just a printer issue. I’d bet a large amount of money on it that it is fine.

It’s off center top to bottom which is actually a good sign as well.
