Ask for a much clearer scan. The back looks like a home-made fake, especially that lower right-hand corner - doesn't look natural. If you had it in hand, you could tell in 3 seconds.

I agree with Scott. The middle wrinkles look a lot the aged reproductions that were selling on eBay a few months ago...I've never seen wrinkles exactly like that on a legit tobacco card. Edges don't look right either...but hey, I could be wrong

The wrinkles are consistent with a reproduction. I bet if you hold it to even a dim light you can see the opposing side image easily. The darkness around the edges is consistent with someone attempting to give the card an aged appearance. Doesn't look good to me.

Just so this doesn't happen again, take a look at some of the gigantic T206 detail blow-ups on the 'color' thread on the main forum. Then loupe yours and compare - you'll be able to spot obvious differences.

If I get some time today, I'll create a reprint and show the differences under a 10X. It's not a tough thing to learn - just takes having it pointed out once.

In the meantime, I'm just too busy sitting in a coffee shop listening to reggae with my dog
