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.

I agree with most of what's above. It's authentic. The cut looks slightly askew. Great back. I have a slabbed Young portrait that I haven't broken out, and I'd swap it for that Sovereign Young. Nice card, hope you get it.

Christmas came early for me. I did end up picking the Young up, which is fine as I have needed one for my set. I ended up paying $400 plus I got a dog T206 Piedmont Bender Trees thrown into the deal. Appreciate the help from everyone. I did not walk into the shop with any hope of finding anything the least bit exotic or any intention of spending that much money...but sounds like I saved money tomorrow by spending it today. But I guess that's why we walk into shops.
