It's really a tough call imo, I have also never seen a fake with bleeding through, but the red appeared to bleed through on the back a little to far to one side but if fake it is the best fake I have ever seen. I'm still not convinced one way or the other 100%.

I've seen plenty of fakes with bleeding on the back. Believe me, that is not a strong indicator of authenticity. You mean to tell me you cannot see the difference in color? That fake Gehrig is white as snow!!!

Color is spot on, the sgc example is faded, I can't tell from the scans but I am also not an expert.

Hopefully, Frank Ward can chime in. But, I'm done with this thread. It is, what it is.

Johnny,that's one of the things that had me confused also,was the red bleeding through the back.It seems like the reprint ones I looked at didn't have that.A lot of (not all) the ones that I looked at in graded holders had the red bleeding through the back.

Edit to add-I can easily see what iggyman is pointing out,and have decided if I was ever to buy one of these Gehrig beauties,I would only buy one already slabbed by SGC-these seem alot harder to spot than fake T206's!!!

I would agree that red bleeding on the back of a Goudey card is a good sign. But, in this case, it only means that the original card used for the repro had the red bleeding. Nothing more.
