Seeking opinions on a 1919 World Series ticket

Thanks for all the help!

Couple of good reads:

A black light is effective in identifying many, though not all, modern paper stocks. This allows the collector and dealer to identify modern reprints and fakes of antique trading cards, posters, photographs, programs and other paper memorabilia. Many people buy a black light specifically for this purpose...

Most reproductions are made from a dot-matrix or half tone process, which produces a lentiginous image composed of a symmetrical pattern of small dots.. If you look through a fairly powerful magnifier (e.g. 10X) and you see little dots (either black & white or color), then you have a reproduction.

Absolutely genuine, IMHO.
BTW, George owned that ticket for many, many years and I have seen it up close.

Then there is your answer. If someone who is very familiar with the item says it's good, I would trust that opinion.

If you think it's fake I'll take it���������� do what David said he knows.

Hey everyone,

I bought this a few months ago and really believed it to be real. I sought the knowledge of someone who knows this exact ticket (thanks Scott) and he attested to its authenticity. I just wanted to show the board I received it back from PSA yesterday and they concurred it's real.

Thanks,
Greg
