How do you tell if a 1949 Babe Ruth Leaf Gum is real or fake?

Looks like it might be real, but possibly trimmed? If it's not trimmed, that is in great shape (minus the surface issues).

Here's an interesting thread discussing the space between the shoulders and the edge on this card....

What is that sliver of white along the right side border? Is it just the picture or is it on the card?

If you are talking about the little line on the right side in the first picture then it is just the background paper.

Thanks for your opinion.
And that thread was pretty interesting. Hopefully this card is authentic!
