Need help on 1949 Leaf Babe Ruth?!

[thatguywithadot]

Hey guys horrible way to start my first post off but ive been dragging my feet to posting around on here and always get stuck reading as there is soo much great knowledge flung around and have learned lots! Befor i ask for a second opinion here i will preface this and say that yes i own some 49 leaf cards but no i dont own the big boy and maybe thiis drove me there. I believe what i can make out as the half tone printing in different areas and it doesnt appear to be a intentionally mistreated card for aging purposes but the back throws me off and the wide variance on the print colors with this card as disclosed through members and psa etc. I really am stumped but leaning the real way so i went after it as seller had no blemish and i seen they have been posting what appears to be collection purchased wares from time eras and this recent one fits. blah blah right anyway heres the link and i would greatly appreciate some blunt experienced straight to the point feedback. I have been scouring through a lot of user FrankWakefield's posts but struggled to find a cracker jack thread he referenced to make a printout for keeping handy etc...

again apologies for being that guy that posts his first time about stupid ish but you all have been my secret teachers that i created this account weeks ago to get started being active and discussing things and sharing on my end and no excuses just been a 1 man band on my store and new newborn running around which is why i am awake at ungodly hours to get things done lol I am very meticulous and have a good methodology for internet buying that has worked for me but ive been itching to wade into this era big time and couldnt help myself when i seen it and believe i was seeing signs of natural wear? shtty pics tho and vibrant deep colors that are bleeding ever so slightly through on back like a dempsey i have/had that i recently sold. I have very little experience so far here though and need a nice nudge as to the take so i dont waste my time as i can still cancel if need be before early morning otherwise itl be on my loupe and microscope when i get it and will post my findings one way or the other! Hoping it is a certain way and not the playing tag way!

The one thing that stuck out for me i have yet to see on any reprints or forgeries i have searched through is the ink bleed through that can happen on these cards unless i am off basis there due to short sample sizing in person but i do study a TON of imagery to key on identifying marks of authenticity for a given era but i wonder just what is happening with the paper from backside which almost looked like a halfway curt through to lineup a rounded corner leaving the front layer in tact and im guessing would sand from there down? or is it an optical illusion and paper peeled back is all? the vibrant inks looked great but the hat color combo and a few different variances slightly just through me into a box but i felt good enough about the few things i feel have not been seen by me at least to happen in the fake game like the ink bleed through from color fill...

i definitely just chalked the backside up to glue paste residue as was a common thing back then from what i understand! I will definitely update when i get it with high res scans etc and hope to get some feedback soon from anyone experienced past my nerd reading phase! went ahead and snapped the front and back from listing to grab someone's attention too!
