T206 Mathewson Portraits

[GoCubsGo32]

Look at the font boldness weight for "SUBJECTS" and "BASEBALL BALL SERIES" -- The one of the left is a lot heavier

I know the pictures may be deceiving me, but doesn't the one on the left have an area (within the borders) taller than the real one on the right? If they are indeed different sizes within the borders, that would be another glaring indicator that the left one is fake, as various examples of a particular T206 subject should be sized the same inside the borders. Here is an example of two different authentic T206 Tris Speaker cards I spotted on ebay that illustrate my point:

And now I have noticed the back scans of Matty provided...man that fake one is so much bigger. Did no one else notice this disparity?

That's a great catch. I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.

Thanks everyone for the comments. They will really help me and others down the road!!! The eBay seller already refunded the money.

Makes you wonder about the lengths of the sides...

I have nothing to contribute except to say I had no idea there were two Paul Stewarts on this board.

I've heard that one of those is wider than the other...

I think that we need scans of both of you.
