Need help on 1949 Leaf Babe Ruth?!

i definitely just chalked the backside up to glue paste residue as was a common thing back then from what i understand! I will definitely update when i get it with high res scans etc and hope to get some feedback soon from anyone experienced past my nerd reading phase! went ahead and snapped the front and back from listing to grab someone's attention too!

That bad??? Damn ok gonna try and get to cancel otherwise itl be going back immediately upon delivery but at least i can document the card if they pull the its shipped bs thing already on me not that i am sure it matters? So for my knowledge is ot just the overall appearance or specific things i need to pay attention too??

Among other issues of the print quality, the tale is in the wear spots. when the distressed spots are a stark contrast to the back paper, that is usually an indicator of a reprint.

Ok. My exuberance definately got the better of me but having some of these cards didnt seem completely right so i had to hop on here and ask for con. I was hoping this was the result of the whole glueing cards thing but then never seen that effect on front before yet and seems like the card was almost shellacked lol

Also, it's always good to look at all aspects. That card generally has fairly poor centering. The one here is better than about 95% of them. That is at least a yellow flag.

Here is one I currently own for comparison.....This one has nice centering for the card but yours is way better. Also the other factors, as mentioned, seal the deal.
