Default 1925 Exhibit Lou Gehrig, Is this real?

Bought a large collection recently, and this was in it. There were several old exhibits including this one. Not sure if it is real or a reprint. Thanks for your opinion.

My immediate response from the scan is it is a reprint. The coloring, corners and back just don't look right to me.

I agree with Leon. The bright white back and corners don't look right to me either.

Does the black light test work on exhibit cards?

Corner wear looks manufactured, but if you think it is real send it to SGC or PSA.

Agreed, especially the top corners. Also agree with the others on the color and back.
I always get suspicious when I see a card like this. Somewhat rounded corners, evidencing that it has been well handled, yet still showing no corresponding blemishes on the back and the edges show no hints of dings, chips, or wear (look at edges from the back). Such uneven wear nearly always makes me stay away.

+1 on all three, plus seems a bit too grainy. Take a loupe to it and check the dot pattern. It should be linear and regular. Most counterfeits were made by photographing a real card and re-screening it, resulting in an irregular dot patter.

Best of luck,

Larry

If you were sure this was a reprint why would you send it to COMC and now you want opinions as to what to do?

Where is the eye roll emoji when I need one.

Send them an email or call them and ask that they authenticate it. They may want you to pay the $2 COMC Condition Review in the Grading options. They will not allow you to list counterfeits, only authorized reprints. So you might get it sent back to you instead.
I don't see it in the "Sold Out" listings for 1925 Exhibits. Can you send the link to the page the card is on?
