REAL OR FAKE- 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #144

[Archive]

Posted By: Nate

As the title suggests, do you think this 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #144 is the real deal? As I have only a few '33 Goudeys to compare it to, it's been hard for me to gage its authenticity, thus far.

It seems real to me (in regards to matching all of the criteria that suggest and indicate a vintage card to be authentic), but, nevertheless, I am still a bit wary, and have my own doubts, due to the fact that I purchased it for such a low price (a shade over $100).

Either way, I didn't spend too much on it, and it may, very well, end up being that rare "steal of a deal" we all dream about, but seldom ever encounter.

I'm planning on submitting it to SGC for grading sometime in the near future, but, first, wanted to gather your opinions in order to get a better idea of its authenticity before doing so. Thank you for any considerations you may have. Happy collecting!!!

Between CO. and Boston is where the words reprint should be. Is that scratched off and or paper loss?

A scared man can't gamble and a jealous man can't work.

100% Authentic. The surface damage to your card (top layer flaking off) would be tough to fake on a reprint. Plus the clear scans help alot.
