Poll: Is this T206 Elberfeld Washington Real or Fake?

[ullmandds]

i don't like the color/toning on the front...or the type...but I have been wrong before.

has that washed out look of fakes to me but maybe it's just the scan.

I know knothing about t206's but that coloring looks a bit fishy to me. If i had to guess id say fake.

How come only the more "premium" cards are the ones that are always so beat up you can't tell if they are real or reprints. My feeling is if its a beat up premium card then its a fake.

Personally I'd say its fake, there isn't enough delineation between the red background and the cream color of his uniform, it just looks very strange to me.

Why do people go to such a great extent to attempt to make a card look as if it is not a reprint. On the off chance it is real what could it be worth even though it is an Elberfeld, Washington. In that condition I wouldn't pay much for it at all, below $10.

I agree it does look off color/tone but I think it's do to the rough condition
and bad staining. It has the same stray print mark as this authentic Elberfeld
Washington so based on that I think it's real.

It looks real to me.

I don't love the borders. Looks like the off white borders on some of the older reprints.

[Luke]

It looks real to me, but now I'm questioning myself because so many people are saying it's no good.

Still a fake. Characteristic printing of a reprint, heavy atypical wear...plus a valuable card to boot. Either of the first two is a huge red flag...both on a commonly reprinted, expensive card, and people still think it's real???
