Honus Wagner 1909-11 Batting Baseball Caramel

Looks to me like a fake made to look old. I wouldn't buy it

I vote no, but a better picture might make me change my mind.

[G1911]

80’s aged reprint.

As others mentioned, it would be nice to see better scans. My first impression was that it was a reprint still might be correct, but I am intrigued by the misalignment of red background color as seen on top and bottom of the card...the reprints I have seen are more normally aligned.

I agree with this. These cards often have serious color shifts and/or registration issues. I find it interesting that the ebay example has significant color shifts -- wouldn't a reprint try to "color in the lines"? That said, the picture is horrible and nearly impossible to tell anything by. But my gut is fake- just looks off but need better scans.

Meanwhile, the entire listing reeks of bad news: (i) what/who is that "grading company", (ii) no back scan, (iii) horrible front scan, (iv) calling a T card in description but E card in title, and (v) the seller has nominal feedback.

I see no reason to take a chance on this

For the record, that grading company sets up at the Dallas Card Show but is otherwise not affiliated with them. I have, in-person, seen at least one poor fake in that companies holders, in the last year.

Looks like a "Desmond" here's another Wagner that sold on ebay in 2017 when Desmond was making all the fake T213-1's and T206's it's very similar to the one on ebay now.
