Basically there should be no interruption in color between the border and the parts of the uniform that are supposed to be white.

This card is not mine but you can compare the difference.

Thanks, for your help. That is one of the problems I have with Ebay, there are so many people out there trying to sell fake cards. Guess the general rule of thumb is that if it is pre-world war 2 and isn't graded then don't buy/bid on it.
