Thanks for all feedback everybody!

Certainly looks real, and definitely like a card that is 100 years old should look.

that guy should send it in to SGC or PSA, and Im sure itd be graded.

OT a bit, reminds me of Bob Costas and that, I think 1958, Mantle he always carried around. He was asked y, and he said "Someone always should have a religious artifact of some kind". What a line!

Great scans.

100% authentic but low grade obviously.

that's funny that GAI questions a real card's authenticity. they grade re-prints and seem to get them right

Honestly did not know that GAI is still in business. Thanks for the tip.

The "questionable authenticity" moniker should be pointed at the grading company. Beat up authentic T206's are still authentic.

I'm surprised you would send the card to GAI. They are a very small player in grading these days, compared to SGC or PSA. I don't think an authentication by GAI would be worth paying for, at this point, anyway.

Card is real.


GAI is fake.
