Default Opinion on these recently bought low grade Ruth and Gehrig Goudey - Real or Fake
They are taped into a scrapbook and they look evenly worn so was just curious if anyone had opinions. Also got a couple Waners and Lefty Grove and a few others. Any opinions very much welcome...

I think i saw those listed. I don't care for the darker borders.....Not a good sign. Plus the near perfect centering in the Ruths, another not good look. Personally, I would run the other way on them though without better scans I am not 100%....

Yeah - I guess on the other side they are taped into
A scrapbook with items from the 60s - and they are certainly old reprints if they are them. Anybody else have thoughts? I thought the darker borders were a good sign but I'm definitely a novice. I can definitely back out of the deal so I'd love to hear any additional opinions.

The commons may be ok but I don’t like the Gehrig. Can’t comment on the Ruth’s.

There is just one Ruth - the pics themselves are a bit dark - here is the best imagery I could gather on the Ruth and Gehrig... Are period reproduction/fakes from the 1970s common?

My guess

The real ones were taped and glued then reglued with the reprints .

They say I'm a cynic

I got them - im thinking they aren't real but he kind of said he'd take a return if they weren't. We'll see. One odd thing, some of the Goudey's have an odd almost 3d look to them when I look at them under a magnification. Keep in mind the Gehrig still has tape so those edges look glossier than they are...
