The colors look way too dark based on the condition of the card. The back of the card has dark font that looks fake as well. I am saying 100% no good!

Don't like it for a number of reasons. The stock looks funny/thin and the distress pattern looks too systematic and calculated. Colors look funny, but that could be the scan or a post scan adjustment. Wouldn't touch.

Seller has a PSA graded Mantle and an SGC graded (authentic) T206. If this Ruth were real then why not have it graded?

I've found that the easiest way to recognize a fake is to look at the line that makes up the left side of his hat. On fake versions, the line is cropped and never fully curves.

See the comparison here: http://imgur.com/pgGDk

Doesn't look right, the fading isn't even (consistent with sun damage), doesn't look like any other type of damage (water, etc.) and the paper stock looks strange.
