1930 Goudey- Babe Ruth- questionable authenticity?

[NATCARD]

I found this thread after another example of this card? walked into my office today. Does this change anything or are they both fakes or man and not company made?

Nothing to add on the authenticity aspect, but this was an interesting read to say the least, was a solution ever arrived at? Was a conclusion about the card ever made?

If it walked into your office that proves it's a recent creation. Calendars simply don't live for 90 years.

Case closed.

Concur. I would love to know the outcome.

14 years must be a record for bumping an old thread.

To me it looks like two pieces of paper glued together if you look at the edges..probably the same with the original one...

See about half way down the page in the link above. According to this site, the card was eventually returned for a refund.

Being a professional creative director and commercial artist for over 30 years I can tell that’s a copied fake from the photos on this post. Printing even from that many years ago is much cleaner that that image. So much visual evidence of copy quality even from where I sit. I bet you put a loop to that and you'll see all kinds of fuzzy dust around the images especially the text. That photo even looks like a copy of a copy.

So, this piece di walk into my office with some stunning N172 old judges including what i think may be 3 or 4 that would grade the best ever including 1 spotted tie. There were t206's with a cobb and young as well as a bunch of other stuff. This piece has been in the mans possession for 30+ years. By far not something created in the last 30 years. Maybe created in the 70's but not recently. Jeff W

I don’t think anyone is specifically saying it was created recently only that is not an authentic piece from the 1930s. Fakes have been created for as long as there have been originals to copy.

Well, did you purchase the other cards?

No. They may be consigned to me. Not in a rush to part with them.
