Fake as fake can be! The back is all wrong, and the font on front isn't even close.

the tea or coffee stains are a dead give-away of scammer trying to "age" a modern reprint.

picture clarity also, looks fuzzy....originals are more clear and crisp...this one looks like it came from a scanner, and the back just blows!

my best pitch was the one that made it to the plate!

I think that the size of the back printing looks small when compared to the size of the front image. The front image is almost to the edges while the back is very small. Shouldn't the back image be much bigger?

The back is much too white (period!), but shows extreme corner and edgeware, selectively placed, and extensive staining--all in one card. The front shows the same extreme edge and corner ware and staining--but somehow, none of the stains made it to the green..strange. It's more doctor than card!

How could anyone mess with a card enough to wear the corners down to the picture?In fact, how WOULD you achieve that much cornerwear? Without a nailfile...

It appears that the owner of this card took a brand new crisp reprint and rounded down the edges and corners, then he applied browning to them.

If you do not recognize this right away - be very careful. Because this is a very amateurish job of card ageing. There are many way better phoneys out there.

lettering is wrong size - the Green is wrong color- borders are wrong.

The back SC is hazy and not clear.

Poopy !
