Also notice the gray background on the original vs. the bleached out fake.

Good eye! Here's a portion of a 1200dpi scan of our 1921 Babe Ruth Herpolsheimer backed card....



I wonder if the modern printer used for that "possible" fake shotwell made the background too muddy or something and they foolishly opted to just remove it entirely?

Amazing how quiet the national news media is considering the coverage this received. Beckett should have posted a grade by now if this was genuine.

The good part of that $2 "million dollar card" story is it prompted my uncle to get me to learn more about the stack of Herpolsheimer's he was sitting on. Maybe that could be the bright-side follow-up story here?

Why are folks saying the Shotwell is a possible fake? It is a 100% fake. Period.

It is nothing other than fake. I guess some folks don't understand what a fingerprint is?
