I'll admit when I'm stumped....

It's got to be a modern cut out of something right?

I saw this today and said WTF. I do not believe it to be prewar either.

I look at the seller's other items and think he a legitimate dealer, then I read his description of the liquid drop test and I'm immediately lost.

I have just started collecting T205 Cubs with assorted backs. Never heard of the test he was talking about and definitely would not bid on these items. Unfortunately like PT Barnum said, "A sucker is born every day" and somebody will fall for this garbage. Shows you need to know your cards before you buy. I am not a buyer here in this case.

It looks like an ad cut to me.

It is a magazine cut that has been rebacked. I did a post on it a long time ago as I have a grouping of them I fixed up...they were cuts from a 1950s general interest magazine. I got a lot of 10 or so for under $10 a few years ago and i decided it would make a nice rainy day project to package them up ... I could probably find the title of the magazine with a little effort. And if anyone is interested in buying mine at a comparable price to what is being asked for the one on ebay, please send me a message. ;-).
