Default T205 Cobb ?

I just won this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-T205-Go...p2047675.l2557

Looking at it on a bigger screen, I'm now a little nervous about it being authentic.
What makes me anxious are the "age" lines throughout the back.
In my experience, these kind of lines are a product of artificial aging, and you just don't see them on real cards.

I haven't paid for said card yet and would appreciate some expert opinions before I do.
Seller does have a return policy, and I'll be looking at it under the microscope after I get it in hand to tell for sure. But I'd rather avoid the whole return-scenario if it's convincingly deemed phony.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Doug
