T206 Experts, thoughts on this Cy Young Portrait?

[triplejway]

Hi All,

First Post on Net54, and I was hoping to get some feedback on a T206 Cy Young Portrait I have. I sold this card about a month ago on E-Bay. I purchased about 15 T206's from an auction house (they were auctioning 100's from a personal collection).

The buyer notified me yesterday that GAI deemed it as questionable authenticity. Below are pics of the front and back.

What is everybody's thoughts here? Real? Fake? If fake, anything that tips you off?

Any insight is much appreciated!

Certainly looks real, and definitely like a card that is 100 years old should look.

that guy should send it in to SGC or PSA, and Im sure itd be graded.

OT a bit, reminds me of Bob Costas and that, I think 1958, Mantle he always carried around. He was asked y, and he said "Someone always should have a religious artifact of some kind". What a line!
