authentic, very easy to tell

nice card!

T206 cards are fairly easy to authenticate

in order to get a clean reprint the printers would crop the image area and add a new caption to a new blank white border... the caption font and sometimes the border width will give them away. On some older reprints the printer just rescreened the entire card but these will have print dots in the normally pure white border and the caption will be duller and not as crisp in details.

The only fakes that may fool an expert (in an auction listing or on internet) because they are exact copies from an image of an authentic card... is a homemade fake made on an inkjet printer (front and back printed out and glued together), but in person these would stand out as obvious fakes.
