1925-1931? Exhibit Lou Gehrig Rookie Card!!! W/Strip

[RCMcKenzie]

What does it have on the back? Does that say "Ithaca, New York"? What are the dimensions? Why are you calling it a "strip card"? Here's one from an old H&S auction...Yours looks to have a tint to it. It may be the scan...

Eh, I don't think I've ever seen an "exhibit strip card" - but I've seen lots of trimmed ones. FWIW I think these came single out of a machine - not sure there is a history of hand-cut or strip exhibit cards given how they were delivered. Anyone have an example of a gigantic strip of uncut exhibit cards? Would be first for me.

It's a reprint/fake. Artificial ageing for the cardstock, typewriter print on the back. I've seen too many of these type of fakes on ebay.

+1 --- Gary is spot on, this is 100% a fake.

Paper from the 1920's is easy to find, and most will go through a printer just fine.
There also isn't much difference in paper from say 1880 till the late 1940's

Oh boy, not another "the paper was tested by experts" story....
