Real or fake?

Saw this for sale today. Thoughts?

Absolutely not authentic, it's a reprint. Carry a black light with you... that card is new, the paper it's on will fluoresce a bright violet.

Exactly what I thought. Told the antique store that I thought it was fake too. There was one T206 that they had that looked legit, but this one and the T207’s and Cracker Jacks they had all looked fake as hell.

Definitely a reprint/fake. The black ink on the card front showing the player's name/team is the first and most obvious dead giveaway.

Look at any real T206 card, that printing is always in brown ink.

Those Cracker Jacks aint lookin too real either.... jus sayin

It’s not even a good fake. And I agree the CJs are very suspect too.

+1 Agreed

Sad/concerning that it is in a dealers display
