Careful Middy Bread

I think this may be a fake like the 3 I got burned with at a local PA auction a few months back. They had old paper glued to the back and were Fritsch reprints cut out and soaked in coffee to appear old.

I also think it's bad. Nice catch Dan. That little "Printed in USA" caption in the lower left should be sharp. The scan is too small but I bet in person it looks blurry...

I advised the seller, after he advised me of the length in centimeters of the card, that the average standing card is four inches in length. His came out to 2 and 61⁄64 inches and when advised his card was a reprint, he stated he "cant confirm or deny that" and that the cards were not his. He is selling them on behalf of his father.

Interesting Brian, I inquired about the size and he never wrote me back.
I guess me asking if he was the one that consigned 3 to a local PA auction may have killed my chance for a response!

Thanks for the heads-up on the authenticity (or lack thereof) of this card. Great work, as always!!

Very sketchy.. Check out the listing they have for a lot of 35 1955 Bowmans.. Then check the feedback he received for already selling the exact same lot with the exact same photo. The listing for the Bowmans ended on 12/28 & the "buyer" left feedback on 1/1/14. That's pretty quick shipping and we will ignore the fact that the "buyer" has a 72% bid history with this seller.
