If that.

Obviously the corners have been snipped right off. Edges look like it was just printed and you should expect wear, fading and overall damage to cards that old. The wear on the back is inconsistent with staining on the front and that crease looks easily like it was bent, just to look old.

I'm sorry that you picked it up. (It might not be fake, but looks like it to me.

Did not look original to me either, the photo should be a real photo, and if you can see the back, it should have a lineup. It also did not appear that the crease went all the way through.

When did corrugated cardboard come to be?

"City Livery...... give me a call."

When did telephones become so common that an ad would suggest that you "give me a call"? Sometime after WWII would be my guess. Certainly not in the 1800s.

This guy sells tons of garbage...look at his completed listings.

Filled with reprint baseball cards that he appears to have aged, but is selling them as reprints.

Take a look at this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nice-CDV-Of-...item1e99ca1bf4

Quite clearly on the left hand side you can see this photo (most like a Kinko color copy) was glued to an old cabinet photo as you can barely make out the bottom tips of the letters of the studio or town this cabinet was made.

Blurry images on real photo items are a surefire red flag.
