Card listed as a Reprint but it was Real?

The images provided certainly look legit, although something funny on the bottom corners seems to be going on, perhaps a recent roughing up to make the corners more rounded, for some darn reason.

Looks legit, but sketchy based on response.

No reason to fake that one. 350/30 back is one of the most common backs for this player.

does that left edge toward the bottom look shiny white?

It seems to be part of what I mentioned about the bottom corners...as if they had been recently scraped (at least within the last several years or even within past decade). For whatever reason.

I wonder if the seller rounded them out trying to make the card look "more real" after foolishly thinking it was a reprint.

Not at sales, but I've had a few items shown to me where the person assumed it was fake or reprint and it was real.

Years ago, there was a woman who had a one-of-a-kind Christy Mathewson minor league imperial cabinet card on eBay that was obviously was original, and she clearly didn't know what it was.
