Is this ty cobb fake?

I'd pass without thinking twice. The creasing/paper loss damage on the front looks way too white in some spots which screams fake to me.

Buy a loupe and compare the printing on this card to a common raw T206. It will take you about 30 seconds to determine whether or not it is real.

It may seem odd, but that's what that sort of damage looks like a lot of the time.
My first T206, bought ....late 77 maybe early 78 and certainly real.

The difference, at least to my eye, is that the card which you posted has the same color in the creases as the border. The Cobb has multiple shades of white in the creases, and they don't all match the border color. Imo that leads me to believe that it is fake. Of course many on this board are far more knowledgeable than I am. Just throwing in my 2 cents.
