I'd need a bigger scan, but it does look like it has the wet sheet ransfer that is common to real Goudeys and that you never see on a fake. If you post a larger, higher rez scan, that would be great, or email it to sabrjay@yahoo.com I'll be more than happy to let you know.

If the card is real, you got a great deal.

I was able to see a large front image of the card. Click on the small Front and on the right you'll see no picture but an X. But Click on "View Full-Size image on the bottom right, and you'll see a nice big image of the card.

I don't see anything different about it compared to the Red Ruths I have. But I wouldn't be able to tell if it was a 70s fake or not - what are the characteristics of those reprints?

From the scans, I see nothing unusual - but I don't know if I could spot a fake (by scan) if I saw one.

That's wierd. I get a view that makes the card 6 inches by 5 inches.

It's impossible to authenticate a card from a picture, as you have to see it in person. However, I don't see anyting glaringly wrong with the card in your picture-- and most Goudey Ruth fakes have something glaringly wrong with them and that can be seen in an online picture.

You should send it into PSA. If officially graded, it's value would rise, and any reputable seller would give a refund if PSA said it was fake.
