Default Real Goudey Ruth or Fake?

Hi guys, a local guy is selling this card and was just wondering if anyone could help me figure out if it's real or fake. Not really concerned with the auto. Thanks for any help!

Larry

Pictures are too small to tell, but everything about it (ungraded, perfect centering and pinpoint corners) tells me no good.

You left off the fact that it is also autographed. The odds that you would find a legit copy that's also signed are astronomical. These fakes are offered on ebay with or without the facsimile autograph.

I'm pretty sure that the card posted is this 'novelty' card. They seem to be very popular among scammers, probably because they don't have to remove the reprint wording like they do with the Galassos. Among other things, the artificial aging/color of the backs (not to mention the sharp corners) are a dead giveaway.

It’s a three-dollar bill.
