just wanted to add, that there are known reprints of the W504 Brooklyn cards.
it looks like they are a blue tint, and the card stock is different and looks like it has "reprint" on the backs http://www.ebay.com/itm/1925-UNIVERS...-/200587698935 here is an image of one of the authentic cards I have so you can see what the backs (and card stock) look like.

I dont know Steve,
I just remembered I saw reprints of some of them a while back then googled "W504 reprint" and the eBay Larry Fritsch Co. garbage came up... not even sure if they made the other teams, or if anyone else has reprinted them ?? does yours have a scuff where the word "reprint" is shown? if its the lighter and smoother card stock and blue tint it doesnt sound good to me...

Here's mine. Brooklyn, blue, light cardboard......hard to tell if it's scuffed where the reprint text would be, but I'm starting to suspect it's been skinned. Assuming it's a reprint, and that the wear was faked they did a beautiful job of it.
Ebay purchase of course, but from maybe 10 years ago? Steve B

Steve, let me ask my constant question... have you illuminated that with uv light, does it fluoresce?

No, but I'll be doing that as soon as the new UV light arrives.
The old one stopped working after I dropped it. One of those odd moments of "darn! it's not like I use it all that often" Then the realization that it's more than 20 years old and has probably seen more use than it was designed for. Steve B

20 years old... glad to see you're a believer in the use of a black light!!! From your scan I think the card's good, but a little black light would be good.

Interesting, both the cardstock and ink are totally dead under longwave UV.
I'm thinking it's real, but I'll hold off till I figure out fixing my big UV light which does both short and long wave. Technical stuff follows, if it bores you stop now. US stamps only react to shortwave UV, while most other things react to longwave. I tried a few other items, and it looks promising, but not conclusive 2011 topps -reacts 2011 Topps allen and Ginter - do not react! 1981 topps - cardboard does not react, yellow ink does. most envelopes - react T206, real allen and ginter,e90-1 --Do not react.
