1928 Fro Joy Babe Ruth - Authentic?

Cropped into this image (the non-compressed one) top to bottom (recent card on the right):











Jaybird mentioned how the edges should roll over, and unlike the first paper variation, I think I see that happening here on this recent card. Was wondering what y'all think? Thanks again for the help.

Also, the front image on the #5 card is much lighter than the #6 and #2 cards, which may explain why there's more lightness on the reverse? In fact, the text box on the back of the recent #5 bled through to the front, and the darker areas on the front bled through to the back. This corresponds to the #6 and the #2 cards.

The new one looks good to me. Size differences don't concern me too much in this series though I have never really tried to study the sizes.

Thanks for your time again Leon. It went out to Beckett about an hour ago.

I'm looking at my '27 Tunney again; I don't think the paper on the '27 cards is the same as the real (confirmed real) '28 Fro Joy cards. The back of my Tunney is heavily damaged but the front is fairly nice, so I'm going to check on that. The reason I started comparing the first #5 Grip to the Tunney was because it looked more like the '27s than the '28s.

Looks good to me as well. Nice pickup.

Thanks Jason

Found my scan! These three were scanned together Feb 22 while I was trying to confirm the #2 Ruth was real. Do they look like the same paper?
