I would agree that Ruth's face seems too dark to me. In particular, his brow and the "lines" of his face seem darker and more pronounced than they do normally. It also appears there's a pretty even "darkening" of the edges/corners on the front and back which is another tell-tale sign that someone tried to give the card a more "authentically aged" appearence.
The Aaron I'm not sure about, could go either way on that, but as with the Ruth, I can't really tell based on the photo. From what I can see, I'm about 95% certain the Ruth is a fake and could go 50/50 on the Aaron. I would try to use a scanner if you have access to one....

The Ruth and Aaron certainly don't look good to me...not even the right contrast on them. Welcome to the board, but probably not the introduction you were looking for.

The light switch looks real.

as a newbie collector myself, i think that you're on the right track there. until i have more expertise, i buy slabbed. if i want to yank them out of the slab, i can and at least i have some peace of mind that what i bought is real.

Aaron is also 100% fake. This particular Aaron reprint is easy to tell by the faded area that runs horizontally across his forehead through the spot where the red bill of his hat connects to the blue crown.
Why is it that the only cards you have for sale are either fake or altered? Are any of your Mantles for sale?
