For my money, the top one is the reprint. It looks like it is artivicially aged but more important is that the circle on the bottom right back looks more clear on the bottom one when the imases are blown up. |

It's not always "fair" in comparing scans when the scanning process itself is so disimilar -- i.e., one larger, sharpened more, brightened more, etc. That said, I'd say right off the bat that the top is real. The first thing that catches my eye is the coloring, especially on the front. A good way to tell on this card is the yellowish "shading" in the center of the uniform of the real card. I happened to scan my own card recently and noticed that right away. |

I am sorry about the two size differences. I had a little trouble getting them on there. I will reveal the real Ruth after a few more posts. I am getting some very good info though on spotting a fake. |

The easiest way to get the cards scanded the same size is to have both of them in the same scan. |

I have yet to see a Sport Kings / Goudey reprint with a banner bleed through. Top one is real without a doubt. |

The top one is the real card. The bottom unfortunately is mine. Thank you all who wrote in for the tips on spotting a fake. Dont worry I didnt pay a whole lot for the bottom card and I did buy it knowing that it was probably a reprint. |

Vanessa -- When possible you can always post an image here before plunking down the money. If you want to supply a link to it but are worried about "outing" an auction because you don't want more bidders jacking-up the price, then send an email to someone here you feel you can trust...that would be most of us. By the way, if know you are getting something real cheap then chances are that's exactly what you are getting! Folks here seem to be more worried than you are about getting burned! |
