Opinions on Ruth Postcard
Picked up 2 of these from eBay the last couple years. The image is from a Nickolas Muray photo from 1927. The back paper is Azo with 2 triangles up & 2 down, so that puts it between 1910 & 1930. The prices were too good to be true, so seeking opinions. Thanks!

Hey Paul - looks fake to me. that doesn't look like a photo and that is photo paper. If you loop it you will probably see dot matrix pattern rather than a photo which wouldn't have any dot pattern.
Looks like a sandwich. Does it feel thick to you? Can you take a picture of the edge of the card? I don't want to dismiss it offhand but looks like a lot of the recent fakes that have been sold by ebay username Southern-charm-collectibles |

I dont see a dot matrix, & looks like a real photo PC. Dont have time to take a picture of the side at this time, but it does not feel thick. Compared it to another RPPC I have from the same period, & its the same thickness. It even curls up a bit like some of the old RPPC do.

I would send them to SGC so they can authenticate them for you.

From the scan I am not a fan either. Not sharp enough and the back looks a bit too white. I think authentication will bear this out. Hopefully I am wrong.

Sorry, Paul, but it doesn't look right to me either. Most all unique-type real photo postcards are more candid shots, this one seems too "staged" to me.
