The player image is also whiter than normal. The image is an albumen photographic print,
which was the same photo print used on Old Judges, Four Base Hits, etc. Most albumen prints
are sepia/yellowed. However, if an 1800s albumen print was well stored over the years, the
images can be without the sepia tinge. While most Old Judges are sepia, you will once in
a while come across what that is black and white-- usually due to the cards being stored
unusually well.

It is also noteworthy than 9+ out of 10 modern forgeries of Pre-War baseball cards are
intentionally well worn, cooked in the oven, dipped in the coffee, beat up edges. Even
the dim bulbs offering fake T206 Wagners on Yahoo! know better than to offer
a Gem Mint example.
