Is my Goudey Dimaggio a fake?

[BigLambowski]

All signs in my mind point to no but I by no means consider myself an expert. I buy/sell cards generally in the 50-70 period.







Any input would be helpful and if you need me to provide more I can! I posted the 2nd picture so you can see the size of it. Thanks for the help!

My gut says no.....does the card have some gloss to it or is dull?

Do you think the mark on the back might be covering up the word "reprint"?

What Phil said is exactly what I was thinking, so I did a bit of research…

On this reprint (bottom), you can see the reprint verbiage isn't centered under "Indian Gum," it's skewed to the right. Now look at your card (they aren't perfectly aligned in my picture). That exact area of the back has been obliterated. You can see the darkness under the purple and red ink, practically yelling out, "Look Mom, I scratched this part away!!!" To me, it is very, very sketchy.

It's important to note--and may or may not be pertinent--that the reprint I am showing here is card #250, NOT card #274 like yours. I was unable to quickly find one numbered 274, so you'd have to decide what weight to give it.

^^^^ I much agree with what was just said. Tough to see but looks like something was scratched out on the back but u can prob see that under a loop.

I personally do not like the looks of that card. Easy way to find out. send it in to PSA or SGC.

Peace, Mike
