Foxing (brownish/reddish age spots) and old time musty smell are good signs of old age. Foxing doesn't appear on all or even most antique items, but most old paper/cardboard items will smell old.
Genuine toning is generally even, not watercolor painted on. Though, if a genuine broadside was held in a frame or such, there can be darker areas where it was framed or held. For antiques, a black light will identify many modern reprints or fakes, as modern paper often fluoresces brightly under black light. There are a number of modern baseball fantasy broadsides-- not reprints but totally made up designs. I'm sure there are people here on Net54 who could pick them on from eBay images.
